Bulette Charge Style with no armor?

I don't see any requirements to be equipped heavy armor within the description of the Bulette Charge Style feat. It only states you must be proficient with heavy armor to gain the feat. Does this mean that you can wear any or no armor and use the style as long as you are proficient with heavy armor? Would having armor training make it possible to use this style with no armor?

I could see this style working but then not granting the bonus to overrun checks since I'd have no armor.

Bulette Charge Style

Spoiler:
Source Armor Master's Handbook pg. 10
You use the weight of your armor to enhance the momentum of your charge.

Prerequisites: Str 13, Improved Overrun, Power Attack, proficiency with heavy armor.

Benefit: While using this style, you gain a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks to overrun an opponent. Any magic ability or material that reduces your armor check penalty also reduces the bonus you gain for this style.

Special: A character with the armor training class feature can use Bulette Charge Style while wearing any type of armor with which she is proficient. Medium armor grants a +3 bonus, and light armor grants a +2 bonus.
Monk's Robes do NOTHING for Brawlers?

Seeing some wording issues with Monk's Robe and the Martial Training gained from Brawler. Seems that neither of Monk's Robe's effects apply as they don't have levels in Monk yet are treated as a Monk.

Monk's Robe

Spoiler:
When worn, this simple brown robe confers great ability in unarmed combat. If the wearer has levels in monk, her AC and unarmed damage are treated as a monk of 5 levels higher. If donned by a character with the Stunning Fist feat, the robe lets her make one additional stunning attack per day. If the character is not a monk, she gains the AC and unarmed damage of a 5th-level monk (although she does not add her Wisdom bonus to her AC). This AC bonus functions just like the monk’s AC bonus.

Martial Training

Spoiler:
At 1st level, a brawler counts her total brawler levels as both fighter levels and monk levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats. She also counts as both a fighter and a monk for feats and magic items that have different effects based on whether the character has levels in those classes (such as Stunning Fist and a monk’s robe). This ability does not automatically grant feats normally granted to fighters and monks based on class level, namely Stunning Fist.

Seems silly that this item would not do anything, but each time I read these two mechanics that's exactly how the wording plays out. The levels are not treated as monk levels for magic items (feats only), but you're treated as a monk for the sake of qualifying for different magic item effects.

Is there errata on this? Is there something wrong with this logic? I've seen a thread or two point this out but most of what I've read is based of indirect interpretations and assumptions.
Quaking, Ki Throw, and Constructed Pugilist

I am using a Constructed Pugilist with a +1 Quaking constructed limb. As a standard action, I use the quaking ability to make a trip attempt at enemies in a 20 foot line. I successfully trip an opponent of my size category or smaller 20 feet away.

Considering this situation, would Ki Throw activate? From my interpretation, using the quaking ability with the constructed limb would be classified as an unarmed trip attempt, and thus would activate the Ki Throw if successful. I would assume I'd have to pass this by each individual GM, as one could argue this doesn't make a huge amount of sense and Ki Throw would only work if I could physically reach the opponent. Still wondering if this technically works.
Brawler Off-Hand Unarmed Strikes

I have a Constructed Pugilist and the Constructed Limb is currently in the Limb Extender mode, which gives it reach. I trip someone from 10 feet away with the extended limb and use Ki Throw to position them next to my PC to perform an attack of opportunity with Vicious Stomp. I assume I'd have to perform the attack of opportunity with my other hand, which is not holding anything, with an unarmed strike.

Now the question is: would I treat this attack of opportunity as a light weapon in my off-hand? Since I don't have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, this would mean this attack roll takes a -8 penalty.

Or would this work like a monk's unarmed attack, which is described as: "There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed"? The Unarmed Strike sections for brawlers and monks are nearly identical, but this text is not present in the brawler's description.
Wing Thorns + Dread Wing question~

Currently working on a Tengu natural attacker. I just looked at Wing Thorns while checking out 3rd level spells. I plan on using Dread Wing armor to gain wings that can attack, but if I have Tengu Wings and have the effects of Wing Thorns active...

- Does this mean I have a total of 4 wing attacks I can make in a full attack? Or can I only attack with 2 of the wings? Seems like I would since I have 4 wings and each limb can make an attack.
- Do the Dread Wings become primary natural weapons with 1d4, or can I choose to still make them secondary natural weapons with 1d6? (not that I'd necessarily want to)

Thanks in advance for your time!
