Butthan (ব্যুত্থান, bʊθɑːn, meaning "Defense with distinction and awakening") is a Bangladeshi martial art and combat sport.

[12][5] Butthan, as a form of martial art rooted in ancient South Asia, was founded by Grandmaster Mak Yuree.

Bodhidharma introduced rich psycho-physical training to the Shaolin monks which was vital in strengthening the internal and external organs.

After two and half millennia, Mak Yuree Vajramuneethe, with his research and development, created an international movement to revive that heritage of martial arts under the flag of Butthan.

Butthan evolved through Mak Yuree's accomplishment in forty different Martial arts styles and progressive research and development.

International Butthan Federation promotes the martial art in South East Asia, Europe and the United States.

[10] Myanmar Thaing Federation, in 2004, honored the founder of Butthan Mak Yuree in a reception, which was attended by 32 Grandmasters of the country.

It aims to transform the human body through balance of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual spheres and thereby attaining self-mastery and beyond.

The practice of the martial art produces balance through a process of inculcating self-discipline and pragmatic restructuring of personal habits known as Vaz-Sodhon.

The system of Butthan has the essence of knowledge and scientific principles of psychology, trigonometry, human anatomy, physiology, logic, human nervous system, Vajrapran, Siddha medical knowledge blended with selected self-defense methods combining the arts such as Bando, Vajra-mushti, Varma kalai, Tibetan and Chinese Kempo, Ming Jing, Bansahy, Lathi khela and other selected strategies of the, Burmese and Tibetan unarmed and weapons systems.
