You're not required to let the other guy actually inflict serious harm before you defend yourself.

If Zimmerman was not getting a beatdown, then he was not in danger. So he was not defending himself.

A beatdown isn't something that happens instantly. It's possible to start beating and yet be stopped before it reaches the state of "beatdown".
