Unarmed is a cool concept in RPGs but in Skyrim it's mechanic is very weak. With this mod I added some perks that will increase unarmed effectiveness without adding scripts, "Unarmed Weapons" or simply too much like other mods. 

There are 2 versions, "heavy armor" and "alteration". They have the same perks, some with diferent names. Go to Download Section and choose one.

Description:

Heavy Armor Version

Fist of Steel (30pts): unchanged

Heavy Punches (40pts): New perk - increase unarmed damage based on character's heavy armor skill. (every 5 pts, +2 unarmed damage)

Brawler (50pts): New Perk - Decrease incoming damage by 20% when completely unarmed + unarmed power attacks stagger lightly

Focus (60pts): New perk - When completely unarmed, time slows down when enemies power attack.

Bear's Paw (70pts): New perk - When completely unarmed, power attacks are more effective against targets that are blocking. (+50 damage + heavy stagger)

Dragon Strike (80pts): New perk - When completly unarmed, power attacks are 50% stronger and have a chance to knock back enemies

Alteration Version 

Fist of Steel: Changed perk to Momentum in Heavy Armor skill tree. It will add +25% stagger to attacks when using full heavy armor.

Hardened Fists (30pts): New perk - Flesh Spells add unarmed damage. (oak=10, stone=12, iron=14, ebony=16, dragon=18)

Spiritual Strength (40pts): New perk - increase unarmed damage based on character's alteration skill. (every 5 pts, +2 unarmed damage)

Monk (50pts): New Perk - Decrease incoming damage by 20% when completely unarmed + unarmed power attacks stagger lightly

Focus (60pts): New perk - When completely unarmed, time slows down when enemies power attack.

Bear's Paw (70pts): New perk - When completely unarmed, power attacks are more effective against targets that are blocking. (+50 damage + heavy stagger)

Dragon Strike (80pts): New perk - When completly unarmed, power attacks are 50% stronger and have a chance to knock back enemies


Since you can't block with unarmed, "Brawler/Monk" and "Focus" should compensate that giving you more defense and a chance to dodge power attacks.

I have also added a small fix to "Insightful Enchanter". This perk was not improving unarmed enchantment by 25%. You will find this fix in the download Section.

It is not a requirement, just a very known bug fix for brawl fights.
