Yeah, they have boards that require differing levels of force: https://www.amazon.com/Playwell-Martial-Childrens-Rebreakable-Boards/dp/B07CGR6MT9/ref=pd_day0_hl_200_12?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07CGR6MT9&pd_rd_r=09950100-e68b-4282-b2b7-7bbc2ebd8b1c&pd_rd_w=IYZNY&pd_rd_wg=DT1h2&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=CJ0ATTMYGR3CY6SDJSRR&refRID=CJ0ATTMYGR3CY6SDJSRR
The problem with pride style gloves is that they make grappling super difficult. They are pretty much sparring MMA gloves (hell UFC has their own). Any grappling where you're supposed to slip your hand into right places (real naked, getting underhooks) gets really tricky. Your opponent can pretty much hold you by doing a tight overhook but on your arm since the extra padding will act like a plug.

Suit: Cosplaysky Medium. Jacket (Under the vest thing) was short. Didn't tuck into the pants well. I rolled it up and put it under the vest. Under shirt was too small and hood too big so I used a scuba hood. Belt was too large as well, had my mom sew it to make it shorter. I'm 5'7, 40" chest, 32" waist for reference.
Helmet: Xcoser (Paid $30 for it on eBay. Came with a flaw so ended up with 2!). Painted it Rustoleum wine and black. I liked the black face so kept it. 2 coats of flat clear coat. Lenses are made from a soda bottle and car tints then I glued them in.
Chain and gun were from Amazon.
Kept the boots and gloves from my black suit Daredevil from last year.
Happy how this turned out. Won second place in a cosplay contest!
I'll need to revisit the eyes in the future. These were done with scraps at home.
Grey belt
Good side zip boot option for tucking pants into
Drop leg holster
Safe option for pistol for drop leg
Jumper cable clamps
Black Cat5e cable. Strip the insulation off a bit of each end like on the bag
I think that's most every thing I could see in the pictures of him I found. Let me know if I missed something and have fun!
Edit: Ebay link for maroon messenger bag
About $350 for everything I linked depending on shipping and if you have free Amazon prime 2 day shipping

That's what he has. What you link is the cheaper alternative as the original is quite expensive.
its a strike shield. Sometimes called a kick pad. Its for boxing, muay thai, etc.
along these lines. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FLLB9M7/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07FLLB9M7&pd_rd_w=AkBf2&pf_rd_p=8a8f3917-7900-4ce8-ad90-adf0d53c0985&pd_rd_wg=Clcmq&pf_rd_r=WZ0R8A5G50PNV57TEAMR&pd_rd_r=3e3e9f3a-e148-4910-954b-4b2545afebc8
i don't really have a high opinion of title products, but i'm willing to admit that it may be misguided. i just bought these ring to cage gloves because they seem to get great reviews all over the place.
one reason that i'd probably avoid the gloves you linked is because of how the opening doesn't extend up far enough. i find it hard to get a good tight fit when the opening is so shallow.
This might do the trick.
For someone without any training, you do not want to use smaller 'focus' style pads since it is easy to roll your wrist if you have bad technique. Use a softer (lower quality & cheaper) strike shield like this one. You do not need to worry as much about accuracy and technique, and can unload whatever you want.
I prefer MMA style gloves.

Those are boards specifically made for kids to break. You realize that right? Like https://www.amazon.com/Martial-Training-Breaking-Breakable-Boards/dp/B0741F1CVB/ref=pd_sbs_200_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0741F1CVB&pd_rd_r=GTB1TSEKX1RKTCVFSQHG&pd_rd_w=fYJTH&pd_rd_wg=siQva&refRID=GTB1TSEKX1RKTCVFSQHG&dpID=41djyCccg%252BL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail.
Those are for kids. Those are not boards that adults break, at least not when I trained.
I like my own pads. I rent a locker so that I can keep them there. It’s better than the pads they had. Now they have better ones, but still not as nice as the ones I have. It’s these:

The only non Australian website I use to buy training gear from is Amazon ahah, I usually just buy Hayabusa products from them because they tend to be really good quality. In fact if you are completely new to MMA Venum does these bundles you can buy, I got one a while back. http://www.amazon.com/Venum-Challenger-Shinguards-Handwraps-16-Ounces/dp/B00JMK3BJQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1453196159&sr=8-2&keywords=Venum+Challenger+2.0+Bundle
Keep an eye out for deals. I bought Fairtex when I couldn't find a better deal and I bought Title MMA when they had deals. You will need: boxing gloves, mma sparring gloves, shin guards, headgear, mouth guard, cup.
headgear - I bought fairtex. There are different styles of headgear. I like what I got because of the padding across the chin and the absence of a nose guard (limits visibility).
boxing gloves - I bought 14 ox fairtex gloves from my instructor on sale for $65. Boxing gloves are different than bag gloves. Cheaper ones will come apart at the seams. The ones with velcro are easier than laces to put on and off.
mma sparring gloves - I bought fairtex. Notice how "mma sparring gloves" have more padding than the competition 4 oz gloves but less padding than boxing gloves. The distribution of the padding can vary. Mine have all the padding on the knuckles (great for standup) while others have more padding on the sides (for hammer fist punches on the ground). My gym has a "ground striking" class where we are tought how to use punches to set up submissions and use clinches on the ground to set up strikes. You can do this with boxing gloves but like everything else, at some point you might want different gloves.
shin guards - i found a deal on title mma and they have held up great. Some shin guards have less padding but I've never had a problem with mine. My shin guards have two big velcro straps that go across the calf. They stay put for the most part but maybe once a round i'll pause for a second to re-adjust (this is normal in sparring and your partner will do the same). The other option besides velcro straps is a sleeve that you slide your leg in to. This holds the shin guard in place better for grappling but it is a pain to get on.
For my school club I made people pay 10 or 15 dollars and got these pads (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHPQATQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ag2Uzb6C7KEMH). They're super soft and basically large sponges, but it was ok because we could hit them bareknuckle. Maybe do some fundraisers and stuff as well. You probably won't need shinguards because people probably won't be sparring especially at school (liability and such)

I did find a relatively cheap rubber duck on amazon that has an orange tip, and has no trigger. Its currently listed for under 12 bucks and with amazon prime should arrive fast. Having never cosplayed before I do wonder the likely hood of it being allowed. It does look semi realistic except for the fact that it has a huge orange tip.

I actually got them from Thailand on my last visit. Amazon usually is a good source of course more expensive but should be legit. Here is a link check some out.

Revgear kicking shields are great, but they're designed to stand up to a whole gym full of people using them a couple hours a day. You probably don't need that level of quality, and they are expensive. The everlast shield is considerably cheaper and should hold up just fine for personal use at home - I have a couple myself. It is annoying that there's no bottom handle, though.
Had anyone ever tried boxing strike pads as a cushion for dropping weights?

This is correct, though it's mostly used for kicking. Link.
