I was going over the rules for combat maneuvers, thinking about diffrent concepts for a master of combat maneuvers-type character. I was thinking of either a monk or fighter, or a combo of the two.
And then it got me thinking of fighting style of Jackie Chan, always grabbing whatever is handy, the opponents weapons, tables, boxes etc
And I thought it would be cool if i could recreate that with the monk and some feats in Pathfinder
Stuff like this :-) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1cHynIXweE
"Improvised Monk weapon"
Prerequisite: Flurry of Blows class feature, Catch Off-Guard feat
Benefit: Any Improvised weapon you use, counts as a monk weapon.
"Monk Disarm"
Prerequisite: Improved Disarm, Improvised Monk Weapon
Benefit: You are considered proficient in any weapon you are holding as a result of a succesful disarm attempt until you are no longer holding that particular weapon. In addition any such weapon is also considered a monk weapon for you
I have thought of making "Monk Disarm" a 1 round effect to simulate the fast nature of Jackies fighting style, and to keep it from being overpowered. Any thoughts or suggestions, like better names for example :-D

Now new and improved!
Sounds like a fun and flavorful move/moves.

I like the idea, and am a huge Jackie Chan fan.
I'd kind of insist that the player had Improvised Weapon Mastery as a base feat before turning it into a Monk weapon. It seems (to my viewing) they are sort of getting a bit of a two-for-one deal otherwise.

I wanted a bar brawling Rogue using all this stuff, but frankly the Feat requirements just made my idea non-viable.
