Add on question to this: The question is can the Brawler use two-weapon fighting (unarmed) AND use a shield defensively?

When I think of a brawler, I think of a boxer, back alley fist fighter, etc. I guess it's the flavor that goes away for me.

I have a player in my current campaign that is playing a Brawler. The player has latched onto part description from the Monk portion of the character that it can strike with hands, elbows, knees, and feet...and because of this description, wants to use (and get the bonus for) a shield while using Jabbing Style by stating that the second strike is from a kick.

So the question is: Can a shield be used with Jabbing Style? To me it defeats the idea of the Brawler.
