Kangaroos will generally hop away from threats as they can move quite fast.
However, male kangaroos do occasionally "box". They stand on their hind legs and "punch" or grapple the other kangaroos arms to knock them away/over. If they feel really threatened they can actually support their weight on their tail and kick, and as they have extremely strong legs, this could be a fatal blow to a human, although it is quite rare for a wild kangaroo to do this, usually the result of provocation/harm.
Further information:
Red kangaroos are the largest of the marsupials, and have few predators in the wild willing to take on an adult. They rely on their speed and endurance to escape from predators. They are capable of maintaining a steady bounding pace for long periods of time because the physical action of jumping literally refills their lungs each time, making them a highly energy-efficient animal.
When threatened by other mammals, kangaroos certainly do "box", as mentioned above, and they do kick. Their powerful hind feet are equipped with sharp claws.
There have been reports of red kangaroos (and Greys as well) actually using their surprisingly strong forearms to wrestle other animals, such as holding an attacking dog underwater.

Some types of wallabies are endangered, others are not. The swamp wallaby, for example, which is the largest of the wallaby species, is classified as "common".
