Improvisation is the key. A pen instead of a kubotan, a steering wheel lock instead of a baseball bat, a healthy dose of muay thai and some fast running legs are a good loadout!

Sorry but that guy is full of it. 10 to 15 fist pushups a day doesn't make you a powerful puncher. Punching hard involves more than just tough knuckles.
Punching hard more than once involves a lot of cardio and core strength too. Have you ever boxed? It's a heckuva workout.
No... boxing, legal boxing, is done with gloves.
I was talking about a more realistic situation of being at a pub and some dude looking for a fight decides youre gonna be his next "friend" if youre lucky to hit him first and smart enough to get the hell out of there as quick as posible, not worrying about your broken metatarsos and cracked knuckles makes the walk back home alot easier.
Even in a brawl it takes more than tough knuckles to deck a man with one hit. A solid punch that can take someone down needs power from the arm, the shoulder and the body. All I'm saying is fist pushups won't give you a powerful punch. It may help but working on form and technique will help more.
Okay okay, clarification. By no means I meant that push-ups make you a powerful puncher. Or a full-blown fighter or whatever.
Fist push-ups, over time, allow your knuckles to stand some more punishment. You're more aware of what is and what is not painful. That is enough for some girls to feel a lot more confident, and it is a good help for guys too.
