Valid Iron Skills will enable you to stand heavy blows on various parts of your body. However, you don't just stand there.....LOL. Having most of your body fortified you need less areas to protect. You can actually "walk into" a strike and unbalance or even hurt your attacker and follow through by delivering a telling blow.
