Talking about something and actually doing or being in the situation is different. It sounds to me that you guys have been practising martial arts only for about 3 years tops.

Never actually in such a situation, no, but I have had instances where I thought someone was breaking into my home and I did run into the situation mentally prepared to cause bodily harm to someone. The danger was imagined, but nonetheless percieved and responded to with violent intent.
No, the body is not a sheet of iron. I know this quite well from my Tae Kwon Do and Kenpo classes where we trained to target specific pressure points, weak points, joints, organs, and major blood vessels. Muscle won't stop a knife, and it'll only absorb so much impact from something blunt.
Actually, I've been a martial artist for about five years. I started training in Tae Kwon Do in early 2002 and have studied and analyzed martial arts during the couple years between my TKD and Kenpo w/Escrima classes.
