About Me 

Hello everyone and welcome to the Special Agent Combative System, Inc. My name is Derek A. Smith and I have over 30 years of martial arts training in about 9 different arts and 4 black belts.

My Black Belts are in Combat Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Kenpo, and Eskrima.

In addition, I have almost 30 years in Law Enforcement and Security and served in the U.S Navy as a Fighting Seabee, the U.S Air Force as a Special Agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations for 15 years and in the U.S Army as a CID special agent. In addition, I have been a Federal Agent for the Defense Intelligence Agency as the Deputy Chief of Protective Services and National Training Director, US Treasury Department as a Special Agent and the National Defensive Tactics and Firearms Program Manager, US Postal Service as a Special Agent and the National Defensive Tactics and Firearms Program Manager US Department of Education as a Special Agent and a firearms instructor.

I also have a set of tapes on sale with a major martial art DVD publisher & Distrubuter, TRS Direct/Fight Fast Video.

I share all of this to let you know that I know what I am talking about when it comes to Self Defense and Reality Based fighting. Yes, I have fought in a lot of tournaments (placing in every one by the way) and I have been involved with the sport of martial arts. But I have honed my skills in real combat situations and know what it takes to survive.
