That’s also why I am not a turn the other cheek type of guy. I’m more of a break their jaw type.

"Turn the other cheek" does not mean you allow yourself to get beat up. It means...

1. That you bear insults without resorting to violence, and

2. That if you are attacked, you use no more force than necessary to defend yourself. No retaliation after you have subdued the attacker.

That seems a rather tortuous interpretation of the passage, but it’s none of my business.
