Along with a group of Nordic Walking enthusiasts I have attended a very well-run instructor's course today at Gerstung Intersport in Baltimore, Maryland.

The instructor was Gottfried Kürmer - a master Nordic Walking coach from Austria, universally recognized as a true Nordic Walking expert as well as a great coach and teacher of the sport.

Overall, it was a great and a highly educational experience. I hope to be passing some of the additional information learned during our classes and demos. Gottfried conducted a series of Nordic Walking seminars, including an ANWA Nordic Walking Guide Workshop and an ANWA Basic and Advanced Instructor Certification courses.

The ANWA-sanctioned event was hosted by Siegfried Gerstung, the Executive Director of Gerstung Intersport.

More details available on the ANWA and the Gerstung Intersport websites.

Here's a link to a TV report done a day before the Saturday's Instructor Seminar, which I have attended at Gerstung Intersport. Take a look!
