Butthan (ব্যুত্থান, bʊθɑːn, meaning "Defense with distinction and awakening") is a Bangladeshi martial art and combat sport.[1][2][3] It is a system of self-defense and personal development rooted in South Asian heritage.[4][5] Butthan has been developed by Mak Yuree, an internationally acclaimed Grandmaster and known as Superhuman as dubbed by the Discovery Channel.[6][7][8][9] It has been described as the ‘noble art of stopping-fight and enlightenment that produces physical, mental and spiritual balance’.[10][7][11] Butthan was approved as a national sport of Bangladesh by the National Sports Council, Ministry of Youth and Sports in Bangladesh in 2013.[5] As a combat sport, the martial art is practiced in different parts of the world under the International Butthan Federation.[12][13][10]
