About CMA
CMA is a registered trademark owned by the SwissAAA company based in Zurich, Switzerland. The new dynamic shooting sport has been founded on June 10, 2023 in Burgdorf, Switzerland by a group of founding members. In the meantime, there have been many very successful matches in both handgun and two-gun disciplines and a lot more will follow. The time is right to join our efforts and become a part of the future of CMA.

Next Steps
CMA is a young and fast developing sport. Of course, there are many action points to be done. Some of the most important ones are mentioned below.
Organization:
We have a goal to found a sports association based in Switzerland and transfer ownership of CMA from the SwissAAA company to the new association. This will be a considerable effort to get it right. More concrete steps will be planned in the mid-term future.
CMA International:
CMA is intended to be used internationally and the objective is to offer events and matches in many countries and locations to our members. Currently, CMA is present in Switzerland, Thailand, Slovakia, Finland, Kenya, Czech Republic, Hungary and other countries, The list of countries is growing fast. If you are interested to join in and start with CMA in your country, take contact!
Firearms Education:
CMA is based on a thorough firearms education concept. This allows the definition of a certification system for shooters, safety officers, match directors, trainers and instructors. Some of the courses are existing and in use today, some will be defined and introduced in the near future. A goal is to offer courses and related certifications that are of value and can be used and accepted outside of the sport framework as well.
Memberships:
Memberships for individual shooters are based on a well thought-through membership concept. The modest membership fee is used to support both the central activities and local organizations and competitions.
Additional membership types, for example for clubs, will follow in due course.
Rules Optimization:
The rules and regulations of the sport will be periodically optimized. We are always collecting well-founded improvement suggestions. The founders team will review them periodically and take a decision whether the rules will be adapted accordingly or not.
Website:
The website will be constantly enhanced with more contents and functionalities.
Gear and Apparel:
We plan to offer gear and apparel such as for example holsters, trousers, t-shirts, caps and so on, that are functional and reasonably priced. Check out the SwissAAA shop for available products.
