BUTTHAN MARTIAL ART is a time honored heritage, the science of realistic self-defense solution and enlightenment, apparently called the noble art of stopping fight from the motherland of Martial art –the then Indus valley. It produces physical, mental and spiritual balance, through a process of inculcating self-discipline and pragmatic restructuring of personal nature.

The word BUTTHAN comes from the old SANSKRIT word book, which means Defense with Distinction or Revealed Truth. This art of self-development is actually the attribution of modern science, principles of Psychology, Trigonometry, Anatomy, Physiology, Organic Science, Logic, Nervous Systems, Siddha Medical knowledge blended with selected techniques from the ancient Indian, Chinese, Burmese and Tibetian Unarmed and Weapons Combat Systems for achieving desired ends. Butthan emphasizes the physical conditioning through modern and classical Indian exercises, scientific unarmed combat and through the knowledge of vital points from Varma Kalai and the skill in weaponry systems. It is purely focused on practical combat skills yet keeping it’s all ethics and norms of original Martial teachings and values in combination with ancient Indian warrior’s mind training methods.

Under dedicated and dynamic leadership of Grand Master Dr. Yuree, the founder of BUTTHAN MARTIAL ART, the revival of long two thousand years’ Indian Sub-continental heritage of Martial Art is taking place and gradually establishing as the mainstream human-friendly Martial Art suitable for different age groups and geographical diversity. BUTTHAN MARTIAL ART is an attachment of great value to the time-honoured long traditional self-defense methods and updating most advanced research and development of science relevant to this great Martial Art. It is also a culmination of real life experiences and scientific principles combining the essence of ancient arts of Varma Kalai, Bando, Vajramushti, Tibetan & Chinese Kempo, Kalaripayattu, Bansahy, Yoga, Silambam, and other selected strategies.

The Combat System of BUTTHAN develops psychophysical capability for defending oneself effectively in unpredictable and dangerous situations without being unnerved. The strength of mind controls the strength of body. This control of the mind enables oneself to stand up to the challenges in life and disciplines one’s mind and body. Hence, It is different from competitive martial art practices, which basically aim at gaining points, belts, sashes, medals etc by exhibition of skill and performance on the mat. Apart from physical techniques, the disciplinarian, philosophical, ethical expressionistic and meditative aspects of Butthan Martial Arts are vital features for one's development. The training of Butthan Martial Art causes the balancing of the chakras or energy centers and saptha dhatu (seven tissues in the human body—plasma, blood, muscle, fat,

bone, bone marrow and semen), stimulation of 'Nadisuthra' points according to the Indian ancient medical doctrine, working with vital points, and the awakening of 'Prana' or life. When the internal ability of the body fails to handle the stress ,the defense mechanism of the human body tends to become weak and gradually breaks down the system, making one prone to illness and disease. Butthan Martial Art teaches how to reduce tension and calms down the mind and develops mental alertness and attentiveness. By generating nourishment to the nerve systems along with the correct blood circulation it makes the body organs function efficiently, which can keep one disease free and in a state of positive health. As the body's system functions better, one’s physical and mental abilities become unavoidably greater too. This obviously necessitate development of body and mind which would respond and activate promptly and proportionately to the magnitude of requirements through logic. Through proper conditioning of human's fight or flight response the Butthan practitioners are capable of handling real life threatening situations confidently and effectively under the adrenal rush. Through various benevolent practices of this system, unwanted stress and strain can be eliminated to avoid psychophysical fatigue.

Using varying degrees of force to strike the body at different vital points, producing amazingly effective results and is a craft of the masters. When used by a trained expert, striking, slapping or touching the 'varmas' from various angles can cause instant death, slow death, paralysis or great pain.

A timely touch, a slap or a gentle blow on specific 'varma' points can kill a person, or save a dying man.
