Why am I made fun of for doing Martial Arts?

I practice Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Hapkido, and often I am made fun of for this. Whenever I play soccer with my friends, they tell me to "karate kick the ball" and when I sit down for lunch they bow, and if I don't bow they yell "Bow to your sensei!!". ALso whenever they are talking about martial arts, they refer to it as "Judo Shit" or squint their eyes in a racist manner towards Chinese.

I have never been made fun of before, and i am never made fun of other than this... But whats going on here? And I'm not the only one who does martial arts. My best friend also does Taekwondo.
 
You need to talk to your friends about it, they shouldn't put you down for something you like to do. And if they don't listen i'm sure you could just kick their asses. haha! :) I know how you feel though, i use to do karate and some kids in my school would do the same things. so either shrug it off and know that they aren't as mature as you, or let them know how you feel.
 
Sounds to me like they're trying to joke around rather than trying to hurt your feelings. If it really bothers you, just tell them to knock it off.
 
get someone in a serious headlock and see who makes fun of you after that


maybe make the tough kid cry :) lol

I personally think its awesome.

You could also view it as them just having a nick name for you and having fun with it. Maybe they dont know it bothers you

there kids just being kids and having fun they prolly dont mean anything personal to you..

It is better than ignoreing you too. Imagine if they didnt even acknowledge your existance
