Hey there!
Can't find any direct answer to that, so I ask the direct question!
Here's the reason I'm asking:
As a full-round action, you can pool all your attack potential in one devastating punch. Make a number of rolls equal to the number of attacks you can make with a full attack or a flurry of blows (your choice) with the normal attack bonus for each attack...
So, it does not give Brawler's Flurry as a choice here. Nothing in the description of Brawler's Flurry says it's counted as Flurry of Blows.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance!
I actually don't understand why they draw that distinction as flurry of blows IS a full attack action.
Brawlers flurry is similarly a full attack, and is functionally no different to attacking with 2 weapons.
It would require an extremely pedantic GM to disallow brawlers flurry, but if they don't after considering the point I've made - their game their rules I'm afraid, and with an extremely strict reading of RAW it would be hard to argue that they are wrong. The distinction between full attack and flurry has been made and can only be assumed to have been made with a reason (however obscure).

Except the full STR bonus to damage. But I get your point.

Yes, that's what confused me. They cleary distingish full attack, flurry of blows and also Brawler's Flurry ('cause they named it in the prerequesites next to BAB and flurry of blows as one of 3 options). Then they don't mention Brawler's Flurry in the description.

Well, brawler's furry is a weird one, mostly because its wording is easier to understand than Flurry of Blows. For all intents and purposes, brawler's flurry is two-weapon fighting, but allows you to do special things with it, like attack with either weapon, and add your full strength mod. to any attack. This means that brawler's flurry is a modification of a normal full attack, not its own special action. It is, however, still a class feature, and allows the brawler to qualify for things that have the class feature as a prerequisite.

"Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. "
If a Monk can do it, then so can a Brawler:
"Brawler’s Flurry (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a brawler can make a brawler’s flurry as a full-attack action. "
They both state "as a full attack action". Seems legit. Just keep in mind it's for Unarmed Strikes only... meaning your Brawler's Close Weapon Mastery goes to waste with Pummeling Style.
I truly think this was just an oversight. Brawler's Flurry is almost identical to Flurry of Blows; except Brawler's get the perk of different weapon weapons.
