Chesterton suggested that a blow is bad because it humiliates, not because it hurts. If true, we should turn the other cheek! Remember, if you can be humiliated then you're not humble enough. Interestingly, this also means that defense motivated by factors other than our pride may be perfectly legitimate, dispelling the “Jesus is a pacifist” and “all violence is evil” arguments.
