Really?? And by saying "i know it from experience", did one of your cats give you a deep scratch somewhere before? Lol. Joking.

Yup, when I said I knew form experience I meant exactly that my cat scratched me. :) I've had enough experiences both with front paws and back paws...
The worst scratch I got from my cat was made with a back paw like 8 years ago and I still have a mark from it (I held the cat to take it into the house and he wanted to be put down right away. oh well. :) )

I have two cats and they fight with each other all the time.. or play...and i have seen them use their back paws.. its more like a kicking.. Its funny cause they grab each other and kick at the same time. its funny.. So i guess i would say they do.

Sure, if a cat gets to really close quarters in a fight, then the back legs (and claws) will be used with powerful kicks that can inflict really bad injuries. They can also kick like that while playing of course, this time with claws in - usually :)
