Actually, most Buddhist vow to avoid violence, but are quite comfortable using violence in defense of self and innocents. Some of the best martial artists I met in Japan were monks and priests, and the zen college I taught at was very known for its judo, aikido, yado and kendo courses.

Seem to me I recall a t.v. series in the 1970s about a bad-ass monk travelling across 19th-century America who regularly (every episode) opened a can of whoop-ass on some sorry hick who picked on him. Too bad this guy couldn't have dealt with the assailant here in a similar manner.
