Just to reiterate with my usual song: Always start with the assumption that EVERYTHING in a movie is WRONG, and work from there. If something accurate sneaks in by accident, rejoice. Otherwise, enjoy the show.
You probably don't really need a lot of padding under a manica, since it's mainly there to prevent slices. Sure, a heavy blow could still bruise or even break a bone, but that's better than no manica at all! I think it would be very easy for the padding to inhibit flexibility, and I *don't* think that trying to "articulate" the padding will help.
