About Us
Bringing Nordic Walking to Singapore and Asia
Nordic Kinetic Asia Holdings is Singapore's INWA Official Affiliate Member — building a home for the original Finnish technique, taught to one international standard.
Who we are
A Singapore company with a global standard
Nordic Kinetic Asia Holdings (NKAH) is a Singapore-based company dedicated to developing and promoting Nordic Walking across Asia.
In August 2026, after a review against INWA's global membership requirements, NKAH was accredited as an Official Affiliate Member of the International Nordic Walking Federation — the global governing body for Nordic Walking, founded in Finland in 2000.
That accreditation means everything we offer — technique, instructor education and events — follows the same standard used by INWA members in more than 40 countries.
