Its mission is to promote and advance the development of Medieval Combat as a sport in Austria on a national and regional level. In this context, projects and measures are developed in the areas of youth, recreational and elite sport and implemented independently or in cooperation with partner organizations.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>One of the ACA's goals for the development of Medieval Combat into the organized sport in Austria is, for example, the association's acceptance as an associated member of Sport Austria (Federal Sports Organization).<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The ACA supports its member clubs in navigating the organized sports system, strengthening their regional presence, and advancing the athletic development of their athletes. This includes support on a variety of topics \u2013 from founding a club and becoming a member of a national umbrella federation, to organizing events, applying for project funding, and establishing measures to promote fairness and inclusion within the club.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Any nonprofit association whose purpose is the practice and support of Medieval Combat can become a full member of ACA. Clubs from related sports can also become full members, provided they also offer Medieval Combat training as part of their activities. Non profit organizations that pursue a different purpose but actively promote and support the Medieval Combat sport as part of their activities can become associate members ( <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/armoredcombat.at\/en\/statuten\/\">Bylaws<\/a> <\/strong>\u00a74). The ACA board of directors includes representatives from all full members who can actively contribute to ongoing developments.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>ACA remains a member of the existing international federations, the International Medieval Combat Federation (IMCF), Buhurt International and the european SAFE Federation, and continues to be responsible for assembling the Austrian national team and the participation at World and European Championships.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1949778 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1949778\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d573235 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d573235\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-067911f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"067911f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d27cf4 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-video-player\" data-id=\"1d27cf4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-video-player.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pt_plus_video-box-shadow video_player69e5e7767bf4d\" ><div class=\"pt_plus_video_player   text-\"><div class=\"ts-video-wrapper embed-container  ts-type-youtube\"><iframe width=\"100%\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z-RWBPWS2pA?&amp;autohide=1&amp;showtitle=0&amp;controls=1&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;rel=1\"  frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7dee42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"c7dee42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die ARMORED COMBAT AUSTRIA (ACA) ist der \u00f6sterreichische Sport-Fachverband f\u00fcr Medieval Combat.
