Disarm. I took improved disarm (bonus to disarm) with my monk, combined with the CMB feat (use Monk level as BAB) and a pair of sai (bonus to disarm), I can disarm about anyone. You can shut a fighter down quick. If he doesn't have his weapon in hand, he is pretty useless. I also took step up so spellcasters have a hard time as well as you step up punch them if they take a step back and on my turn I always try to stun them.
I think this monk is a vast improvement over the 3.5 monk. While my guy is more of a finesse type (he isn't very strong), he can still pack a punch by burning a Ki point and getting that extra attack at a full bonus.
Not an overpowering master of melee damage, but he can do some fun things.
