Notice, that while they did do something to Zabuza, they did not defeat him, they held their own, for about 10 seconds, while he was focusing on not letting another elite jounin go which I would think would take a lot of concentration.

I don't mean to say that we can't, or genin can't take down Jounin with good teamwork, but it doesn't seem like we have very good teamwork except in odd cases such as me and Aerozord. We could still probaly take down a Jounin, and several Chuunin besides, but it isn't wise to proclaim that we can beat anything that they ever throw at us and survive. Even a Genin could beat someone who foolishly said "Here ill let you get the first shot" (Edit: Unless they are Kenpachi :p) and didn't do anything to dodge.

Also, defeating someone in arm wrestling is not the same as defeating someone in battle. I'm not saying your character is not strong, we all are exceptional Chuunin, but we still got to accuretly assess our weakness. Like in my instance, people who can see through the invisibility and have large AoE Jutsus.

Edit: Zabuza was actually a very good Jounin, he was close the Kakashi's level (albeit out of shape Kakashi but I disgress) he got beaten because Kakashi was better, and because in that part of the series power did not matter as much as brains did. While Naruto has become progressively more power based, there is still chance for strategies to win out.

Edit2: Actually Iruka is pretty powerful... In the databook I believe, or an interview it was said that the only reason he was still a Chuunin was because he loved to teach.
