Why we joined forces
Outside training, that curiosity has nowhere to go.
Between Rounds was created to keep that part of you alive, bringing together two perspectives the fight game rarely puts side by side.
Fightlore turns its lens toward the people and places surrounding the fight.
Through Mahasanae, members will explore:
Fightlore helps you see the life surrounding it. Mahasanae helps you see deeper inside the fighting. Between Rounds brings both perspectives into one place.

11-part KO series
You have seen the knockouts. Now learn what makes them happen. This 11-part series breaks down Mr. Knock’s deadliest weapons — uppercuts, low kicks, distance control, timing, combinations, defense, knockout targets and how to read your opponent — plus a bonus episode on tricks and freestyle. Watch it. Study it. Bring it into your own training.

Gift 2
A famous gym is not always the right gym for you. Choose badly and you can lose weeks of training and thousands of dollars on the wrong camp, location or experience. This guide helps you choose better before you book — what to look for, which gyms may suit your level and goals, and the questions many first-time visitors forget to ask.
Yours free when you join

Four videos that never hit the public channel: Buakaw padwork, Tawanchai on strength & conditioning, a Petch interview, and Lerdsila’s fundamentals seminar.

Inside the community
The work gives the space a reason to exist. The members give it life.
Training in Thailand can be one of the greatest experiences in a fighter’s life. But choosing the right gym, understanding the culture and knowing how to carry yourself can completely change that experience.
Fightlore will share:
Learn complete systems from fighters and coaches who have tested their skills in the ring. Not scattered clips, but full instructionals you can follow from the first lesson to the last.
Founding members get a head start with Mr. Knock’s 11-part KO series in the Starter Pack:
Go beyond fight night through stories about the people, gyms and lives behind Muay Thai.
Fightlore films follow:
Members can vote on documentary subjects and follow new releases as they move from idea to finished film.
Find Thai gyms for your goals, experience, budget and training style, not just the camps with the biggest following.
A famous gym is not always the right gym for you. Choose badly and you can lose weeks of training and thousands of dollars on the wrong camp. The Gym Finder builds on Fightlore’s Guide to Thailand to help you:
Watch rare training footage, longer interviews and moments that never reached the public channel.
The Starter Pack opens the archive with four unlisted videos:
Not on YouTube. Not on Instagram.
Some words can be translated. But their real meaning can only be lived.
Matt was born in Thailand but grew up in Australia. When he returned and spent years learning Muay Thai at Wor Watthana in Isaan, he began to realise that the language of fighting carried far more than simple instructions.
Words like jungwat do not only describe timing. They hold ways of seeing the fight. They carry rhythm, feeling and knowledge passed between generations of Thai fighters and teachers. Translate the word too quickly and its deeper meaning can disappear.
Jungwat is a major project from Fightlore and Mahasanae Breakdowns exploring the words of fighting in Thailand—and the worlds of meaning held inside them. Through lived experience, fight study, conversations, stories and footage, the project will explore how Thai fighters understand ideas that English cannot always explain cleanly.
Members of Between Rounds will be able to follow the project as it develops:
You will not only receive the final project. You will be inside the room while Fightlore and Mahasanae build it. Because understanding the word can change how you understand the fight.
Access new Fight Notes, technical observations, breakdown discussions and lessons from Mahasanae’s wider publication.
Go deeper into:
Full published pieces will continue to live through Mahasanae’s publication. Between Rounds is where you can discuss them, question them and explore the ideas further.
Follow Mahasanae behind the scenes as Matt builds a gym, develops fighters, coaches classes and tests his ideas in a real training environment.
This is not a polished success story written afterwards. You will see the decisions, mistakes, lessons and breakthroughs while they are still happening.
See how ideas move from fight study into coaching, class design and actual practice. Because studying fighting means more when those ideas are being tested on the floor.
Between Rounds is for more than consuming posts. Members will be able to:
You do not need to agree with every interpretation. You only need to care enough to look deeper.
Members will also receive useful emails from Fightlore and Mahasanae. Not constant promotions. Not recycled motivational advice.
Expect:
Every email should give you something worth thinking about before your next round.

Common questions
No. It is for fighters, coaches, students and serious fans. You do not need to compete or even train. If you want to understand fighting more deeply, you are welcome.
Muay Thai and striking sit at the heart of Between Rounds, but the community can explore the wider combat sports world wherever the ideas and stories take us.
Yes. Joining the email list and private Discord is free. Optional paid courses, films or specialist projects may be released later, but purchasing them will not be required to participate in the main community.
