Anbu Alex,

You have no control over how other people feel about you abtaining the rank of Black Belt. Keep traininig hard, let that be your response. I remember what my Sensei told me when I got my BB, he said "The man of Tao when getting his Black Belt, carefully put it in his bag and walked home. He did not stop to speak to anyone."

It does not matter what anyone feels, it matters how you react.

If you continue to to train hard you will show them that you have earned it. If they do not eventually respect your abilities, then their respect is incosequential anyway.

Congratulations!

Your abilities, skills, talents, devotion, and passion will definitely be noticed as time goes by, for they tend to speak for themself.

If people cannot respect such, then it is their loss.

Keep up your training!
