Butthan is a time honored heritage, a South Asian realistic system of self-defence, personal development and a modern sport, apparently called the Noble Art of Stopping-fight and Enlightenment. Butthan is the world’s first combat sports to introduce co-competition system, a modern approach of cooperation based competition system aiming brotherhood and solidarity in real sense. Butthan produces physical, mental and spiritual balance, through a process of inculcating self-discipline and pragmatic restructuring of personal nature.

Butthan is well renowned as a South Asian system of life development combining physical, mental and spiritual culmination. 'Butthan' is originally a Sanskrit word meaning 'defense with distinction' or ‘awakening” or ‘raising up ‘or reenergize’'.

Butthan practice aims to attain psychophysical strength, indomitable spirit, healthy and successful life. Butthan combat sports today are being promoted to achieve social change, especially in under-developed regions of the world, via promoting the healthy life-style and engaging people in community outreach.

Four pillars of this unique sports forms the Butthanchariya’s (Butthan Practitioner) life a square with Krira (sports), Atto-Shuddi (self-purification), Kallyan (well-being) and Atto-rakkkha (self-defense). Apart from physical techniques, the disciplinarian, philosophical, ethical expressionistic and meditative aspects of Butthan are vital features for one's development.
