The sprained ankle wasn’t from being kicked. They have a “light sparring” class which I haven’t done yet. I’ve been kickboxing for about 9 months, we’re either hitting a bag or doing partner work where one person is using mitts or paddles which the other person strikes in a predetermined combo. I got the mouth guard and the shin guards, hoping to try it out in the next couple of weeks.

The sprained ankle was from doing a switch kick in the air and falling on my ass. The ankle that was supporting my weight when I fell was the one that got sprained.

One of my goals in life is to never get kicked in the head. Maybe going to kickboxing isn’t a good idea.
