Zee loses 95 lbs training Muay Thai at BDB Martial Arts

It all started with an invitation from one of my best friends Nelson Jurado to come train at BDB, at first I kept saying “next time” and after him hounding me to go I decided to check it out. I can still remember my first class at BDB it was a Thai Pad session, Nick Ring one of the trainers/fighters had put me with one of the other trainers/fighters Brad Cardinal. I was intimidated at first but it was something I will never forget, even with me panting and almost giving up from exhaustion he was so helpful in really teaching me and encouraging me to go on as long as could. I can’t remember how long I lasted but I knew it wasn’t that long and I was worn out within minutes! The next day I was sore all over and it was then I realized how bad a shape I was really in, I decided to keep attending the classes for the next two weeks since it was free to see if this was something I could do to help me get fit. I ended up signing up right after the free trial period because by then… I was hooked!

For the next 2 years I changed my whole life by doing this and other forms of exercise as well as eating well to get myself in shape. My name is Zaldy Villamarin and I’m now 28 yrs old and I’m in the best shape of my life. Up until 2 years ago I was tipping the scales between 255lbs & 260lbs! Now I weigh 165 lbs, a total weight loss of 95lbs.

Training and BDB I found that all the people here were really helpful and it felt more like I had a personal trainer because everyone, no matter who you were with, would be able to help you build your technique and it never felt like anyone was trying to put you down because you did something wrong instead they would make suggestions on how to do it better. I think that is one of the many reasons why I keep training and will continue to train here and BDB. I owe a lot of thanks to the people that helped me along the way and most of that goes to the crew here at BDB!
