Dropping them by 2 certainly makes some sense...

If you look at my progressions, you'll note I drop damage by 2 if the character has the skill at DX-1 or less (including working off defaults), and by 1 at DX. When using this, however, I'd actually suggest changing punching damage to thr, kicking to thr+1 so that the untrained (working at DX) are still at the level they would be under GURPS RAW.
