A scale that can take a beating + some padding, you can just approximate 1kg into 10N

yes, and the strain gauges have to have to make millisecond-scale measurements to get accurate peak forces, so regular bathroom scales are too slow.

Any idea what scale would even sort of work?
I've been looking and haven't been able to find much.

I would just build a basic force meter from grade school to refresh and then use that as the base for modifying to reach my goal. Surely there are ways it has been done online, but the point of a task like this should be to build your understanding.

While I don't exactly disagree with you.
Really the only reason I want to make this is to dick around and fun with the guys at the martial arts school I train at.

Normally you would measure impulse (Force * Time)

Consider hydraulics? Liquids can't compress so you could try measuring the ∆x displacement that you'd have with 1 newton of force, then applying a conversion factor.
