Technically, the relevant (and most reverent!) quote should be
"Greater love hath no man, that he lays down his life for his friends ...." Thus, self-defense is made less important than defense of others (any who cannot defend themselves)!

I realize I may be wrong, but my understanding of ‘turning the other cheek’ applies specifically when preaching the Gospel only.
Neither the spirit or the letter of the Bible compels one to be somebody’s door mat, endure abuse, fail to take precautions in the face of danger, or defend yourself when threatened.

That cheek might get sliced off in this scenario though. Jesus also said to sell your cloak to buy a sword and in Lukee 22:36

“Turn the other cheek” referred to insults & abuse, not serious physical harm.
