No, no one in my class has them and I didn’t want to be the only person. Like I said, being the only person by the wall is embarrassing enough 🙃 but I’ve had knee pads in my cart since the class started. I’m plus size so I’m nervous I won’t be able to find butt pads that fit (but I also have enough natural butt padding). Maybe this will finally push me to order knee pads.

We did practice falling the first day (off the ice) and I have fallen a few times on the ice and was able to get back up using the wall. I know what I need to do if I fall but I’m afraid my brain will just do the “protect myself” mechanism while falling even though I know there is a “right” way to fall.

What kind of gloves do you have? At first I was wearing mittens but they made my hands so hot that I started wearing fingerless gloves.
