In the Cold Steel Videos, Lynn Thompson, shows a knife attack, in which the blade is brough in a downward arc, ending up on the top of the shoulder, the intent is to go through the sub-clavical artery. There isn't any armour there, only straps to hold the vest on!

A well trained, determined woman, would be able to defeat your body armour.

Hell, even in THE BOOK OF 5 RINGS. Written late 1500's early 1600's, (wrong spelling: Matamoro Miyushi) mentions that even body armour can be defeated because there will always be weak spots such as the knee, elbows, ankle, places which require movement, and thereby weakening the ability of the armour to protect!
