The so-called "open hand combat" is so rare between the special forces in real life, that you could probably only see that in a movie.
I do not want to say that Russian combat is better than American. I said that this sort of fighting is very special and has a lot of difference from "civil" types of combats (karate, aikido, sambo etc). The main purpose of any military combat is to kill or to hurt to an enemy in short time (only one or two movements) because you do not have a time for cinema's dances.

It's Kadochnikov, not Kalashnikov. Sorry.
The kalashnikov system is better than anyone else, you were right
