Firearm safety relies heavily on respect, calmness, balance, mental resilience, regular training, and discipline. These principles also apply to top athletes, which is why CZ has teamed up with MMA champion Jiri Prochazka as the new face of its awareness campaign—Respect the Power & Master the Skill—promoting firearm safety. Joining him in this initiative is Eric Grauffel, nine-time IPSC World Champion and the head instructor at the EG-CZ Academy shooting school.
Both Prochazka and Grauffel have reached the pinnacle of their respective disciplines through focus, mental and physical resilience, and intense discipline and training. These qualities are also directly applicable to firearms users, including members of the armed forces, sportsmen and women, target shooters, and those who carry for personal protection. The CZ campaign highlights the importance of a disciplined approach to firearms ownership by combining respect with practical skills such as safe handling and regular training.
As part of his preparation for UFC 311, which took place January 18 in Los Angeles, Prochazka visited the professional sport shooting center EG-CZ Academy in Quimper, France. There, he trained rigorously with Grauffel under IPSC rules, honing his shooting skills along with principles that benefit his MMA career. This was not Prochazka’s first experience with firearms, as shooting has been a hobby of his for several years and is an integral part of his training regimen.
“Every shooter should strive to be at least half as focused, confident, and disciplined as Jiri,” said Grauffel, the nine-time IPSC World Champion. “It was incredible to see how his inner mindset translates into his shooting skills. The ideal responsible firearm owner combines the right mental approach with practical expertise.”
“Respect and responsibility have been central to my fighting career and my entire life,” Prochazka added. “That’s why I enjoy recreational shooting, where these qualities are crucial. I often shoot CZ sport pistols, so I’m thrilled to bring something of myself—respect, focus, and both mental and physical resilience—to this project.”
One of the main goals of the Respect the Power & Master the Skill campaign is to raise awareness both within the shooting community and among the general public. The campaign website (link below) will feature videos and other materials demonstrating proper firearm handling techniques and ways to continuously improve skills through the right mental approach.
Jiri Prochazka and Eric Grauffel will be the central figures in this content. There is also a contest available for visitors to the site, the winner of which will have the opportunity to participate in a practical training session with Prochazka and Grauffel in Las Vegas. Sign up for the newsletter and stay tuned for announcements on terms and conditions.
