Martin David Boonzaaijer (born November 1, 1972)[1] formerly known as Martin Boonzaayer,, is an American judoka, who was a member of the United States of America Judo team at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics.[2] He was a three-time World Team Member, Seven-time National Champion, and won Bronze at the 2003 Pan American Games. He also won ninth place in the 1999 World Championships as well as a Two Time Gold medalist at the US International Invitational (US Open) Championships, in addition to numerous other international podium finishes.[3]
