I know it´s annoying but beeing polite is probably the best way.

We had a kendo demonstration at my school today. There were people from other schools watching and as soon as we shouted the first kiais everybody in the room started laughing. It felt bad but we did our show with honor and we got pretty good applause at the end.

Usually we can practice in peace without beeing disturbed, but once two guys from the country side showed up. They had called one of us and said that they were interested and wanted to buy couple of shinais so they could practice by themselves. They came to watch our practice and strated touching our bogus and other equipment without asking. Someone then asked them to not touch our stuff and they left.
