The Hindu squat, also called baithak or bethak (Hindi, from Sanskrit baiṭhaka, "seat"), is a calisthenics exercise involving a dynamic squat with the knees over the toes. Along with the Hindu push-up, it originated in Indian wrestling and was adopted in martial arts and combat sports by figures such as Bruce Lee and Karl Gotch.
