Important note for all video/s submission:

1. All videos MUST be in MP4 format.

2. When sharing the files please select the option “anyone who has the link”. It MUST not be a private file as that would mean the examiners would not be able to open the video files.

3. The file name and candidate name MUST be the same as that of the registered person for easy identification.

4. All the videos taken must be in one file. You can take the videos at different time but it has to be edited / linked together as ONE file. This will help to facilitate and hasten the grading process by examiners.

5. The video will have to be in the proper grading procedure. ie : Compulsory pattern, optional pattern(s), basic kick, followed by one round of 1 minute shadow sparring.

6. For the PPass going for confirmation, coaches will have to indicate the comments from previous grading and which portion/s of the grading process needs to be confirmed. 

7. DO NOT send multiple emails with the videos to the different emails as that would only clog up the emails. You will receive a reply once your email/video is received and the videos are in order.

If you are unclear on any of the above points, kindly call STF office at (65) 6345 1491 or email to Grading Department (stf.grading@gmail.com) to clarify.
