i would wager that you just tested last night and maybe even went to tonight’s on ramp day. haha.
i would recommend just hitting up class and feeling it out. we normally don’t actually spar until the last 15 minutes of class or so, and beginners will have no head contact and even lowered power on the kicks.
so the majority of class is various warmups and kicking drills. they will introduce you to the gear, and don’t be afraid if they don’t. ask an upper belt for help, saying it’s your first time.
many people own their own gear. the dojang has gear to borrow in class, but they also sell it. i highly recommend wearing full gear at all times, including a mouthpiece and helmet, even if you and your partner are not doing headshots. people are inaccurate as they are learning and every now and then a turning kick goes a little too high. so wear the gear! helmet, mouth piece, forearm guards, gloves, shin guards, and foot protection. when you buy a mouthpiece, make sure it is clear or white, as those are the colors allowed in actual competitions.
for foot protection during practice, i use these: https://www.amazon.com/Product-Taekwondo-Protector-Season2-Approved/dp/B00QUWBQ1Y/
they cover more of your foot, are comfortable, and are essentially identical to the daedo socks used in competition aside from the lack of sensors in them.
i wholeheartedly derecommend thinking about blocking. most lower belts and even upper color belts block very poorly, and i actually broke two or three fingers in the past year during sparring due to poor blocking and just sort of my hand being in the place at the wrong time. beginners often stick their hands out in a very poor manner, and so try not to even think about it. keep your hands semi-closed and in tight and concentrate on footwork.
so in terms of actual sparring, just relax. beginners often throw way, way too many kicks. work on footwork and movement. think “following up”. don’t just throw a kick and then stop. work on throwing a fast kick then a turning kick. or maybe a back kick and then a turning kick. throw some fakes in there.
if you have anymore questions just ask. see ya!
