Polyphobic has it right... there is a BIG difference between resorting to violence and self-defence. If someone jumps me and starts pounding on my head, there is no reason to lie there and take it...
However, taking the fight to someone that has angered you is resorting to violence.
There are more ways than resorting to violence to "stand up for yourself".
