The passage about turning the other cheek probably has more to do with remaining calm when insulted. To not make the situation worse by overreacting. That would make sense in the context that Jesus said it.
If somebody physically attacks me, however, I will do my best to ensure that they lose that fight. I consider myself to be a pacifist as I don't go around starting fights, and I would conscientiously object to fighting in unjust wars, but I can and will defend myself from bodily harm.
