make it a point of sth to do 句式问题

原文  

So conscious was he that the gentle and timid would turn aside to avoid him, and that others would make it a point of hardihood to throw themselves in his way.


【我的疑问】

这个句式应该是make a point of doing sth,或者接to do用make it a point to do sth,但是point后面不接of sth,it指代to do sth意思是保证做或总是做。这句话到底是保证做to do throw...,还是保证做of sth?原文如果是保证做to do sth,那么是否可以改为make a point of throwing themselves in his way. 但是 of hardihood应该放在句中哪个位置,在句中做什么成分呢?
