Hi All, I am making a build that relies on reach bonuses such as lunge and combat patrol and wanted to confirm that they both stack with each other for an effective 15+ft reach. I also wanted to throw Marid Style in there with some Ki Throw for a good crowd control option.

Thanks in advance.

I was hoping to get some feedback on how optimized these choices were and some suggestions on adjustments if need be. I am still rather green to the PF system. This path focuses on the synergy of Shatter Defenses and Medussa's Wrath and has some other things peppered in there.

Novice Tenzin, Human (Unarmed Fighter 1, Monk 19)
Starting Abilities:
Str: 20 (+5)
Dex: 12 (+1)
Con: 12 (+1)
Int: 10 (0)
Wis: 18 (+4)
Cha: 8 (-1)
Feats:
1st (Unarmed Fighter): Weap Focus (L), Dragon Style (UFB), Dazzling Display (H)
2nd: Improved Grapple (B)
3rd: Intimidating Prowess (L), Combat Reflexes (B)
5th: Dragon Ferocity (L)
7th: Power Attack (L), Improved Trip (B)
9th: Shatter Defenses (L)
11th: Cornugon Smash (L), Medussa’s Wrath (B)
13th: Elemental Fists (L)
15th: Vicous Stomp (L), Ki Throw (B)
17th: Dimensional Agility (L)
19th: Fury’s Fall (L), Mobility (B)

The Shatter defenses feat chain is a large investment... but the potential to trigger Medussa's Wrath on just about every full attack is attractive.

Can I choose unarmed strikes as my focus for weapon focus and specialization as given to me by the class ability "Way of the Weapon Master" even though I can't use unarmed strike with Perfect Strike. I know the flavor of the archetype is supposed to be a monk that focuses on a manufactured weapon, but the way I see it, there is nothing RAW that prohibits what I want to do.
