I don't know why, but the urge to make an Ifrit a Tetori monk randomly came to me and I can't get it of my head. I only planned to about 3rd lvl so far, but would like some thoughts/advice on how to make it decent... or if it seems like it'd be viable; especially since I've never played this class before.

Knowledge (Planes) only a 3 point investment.
I swapped two racial traits. Gave up Burning Hands in favor of casting Enlarge/Reduce Person 1/day, and gave up energey resistance (fire) for +4 to initiative. Celestial Obedience (Falayna) was chosen for the +4 sacred bonus to grapple checks and CMD.
By level 3, if my understanding of grappling is correct, the grapple check CMB should be:
3 (tetori lvl) + 3 (str) + 4 (sacred) = 10
