They each didnt, but there were 'patterns' attributed to familys and villages and islands just like in CMA Old China. When you study some patterns you notice they match up with themselves and others, and some patterns dont here or there. Some seem to be designed to defeat people locked into other patterns. I like kob-kob and pai-pai motions the best.

With watik, you still crash through anthing you touch down the line even if its just with the tip. Its all about the footwork and which ankle you twist with which arm.

Abanicos... I use them to transition between power strikes, into or out of the different ranges, specially into puno strikes and throws. Disarms seem to pop out of abanico motions more often then most others, but I havent found much other empty hand use.
