Legowo was born in the small town of Magelang in Central Java, into a family that loved all forms of Martial Arts. He began training in Kung Fu and Boxing at a young age, and started competing in Sanda and Boxing tournaments by the time he was 16. Inspired by Bruce Lee’s philosophy of incorporating the best techniques from all Martial Arts, Legowo began training in Wrestling, Judo, and Brazilian Jiujitsu to round out his skill-set, and he entered his first MMA tournament shortly afterward. In the 10 years since then, he has won several Indonesian national championships in MMA, Kickboxing, Sanda, and Submission Grappling. In spite of all of his success, Legowo has a modest, thoughtful attitude towards his MMA career: “I do not like to fight. I like to compete.”
