A regular monk, tetori monk, and a maneuver master monk can not take grabbing style at 1st level because they do not meet the prerequisite of +6 BAB.
Master of many styles could take grabbing style at 1st, as their bonus feat lets them ignore prerequisites other than elemental fist.
Prerequisite(s): Improved Grapple; base attack bonus +6, brawler's flurry class feature, or flurry of blows class feature.
It says or flurry of blows. Doesn't a regular monk count

Interesting, I never noticed that it was improved grapple; (bab 6 or brawler flurry or flurry of blows).
I think the grabbing drag requires 4th level to make it some time before you can take that feat for a brawler or regular monk. Since flurry doesn't have any advancement at 4th they chose to just go with a straight level requirement.
Whats really weird, is you'd think grabbing style would be a perfect fit for a tetori.
