Does Brawl work with Fist weapons?

So in the Lunar New Year event I pulled Xiao who has a trait called Brawl which states the following,
Boost ATK when unarmed
However I'd like to know if this works with Fist weapons or not. As equipping and unequipping a weapon doesn't appear to directly adjust her stats.
So when it says unarmed, does it mean, no weapon equipped, or just fist weapons?
