Hello there guys,
Here comes what me and my gaming group thinks it's a better version of the Monk.
Main changes:
1- Proficient with light armor, and can add WIS to AC like a Swordsage (3.5);
2- Fast movement nerfed (Because we allow move and full attack freely);
3- Huge buff to the Ki Powers;
4- Minor adjustments to the Stance Strikes: Now only the Hammerblod (Renamed Tiger Fang) needs a unarmed strike, all other can be used with weapons.
Hope you guys enjoy.
•Rampage Blaster (Su): A monk can release blasts of energy from her hands, which fly to strike a huge area. By expending 4 points of her ki pool, a monk can make a single unarmed strike as if she was two sizes category larger attacks against all creatures in a 60.ft cone, as if they where in her threatened area. This damage is force damage. A monk must be at least 12th level and possess the blasting wave ki power before selecting this ki power.
Kami-hami-ha!
While I like the buffs, I don't personally care for the change in flavor unless it is in the context of an archetype. You didn't really seem to buff the powers equally making certain options inherently better for all builds. Good archetype, not good base class.

I must agree. Remove the Blasting Wave and the Rampage Blaster Ki powers, and did some cleanup on the abilities.
I forget to add the following line of our houserules:
Brass Knuckles; Cestus; Dagger, Punching; Gauntlet; Gauntlet, Spiked; Katar, Tri-bladed and Rope Gauntlet are a Monk weapons.Monk Weapon Property: You can use your unarmed strike damage in place of the original weapon damage with any monk weapon. Any ability that requires an unarmed strike to work can be used with weapons.

That's kind of pointless, monk weapons were designed for better maneuvers, not for damage: grapple weapons let you grapple instead of normal attack during flurry, trip weapons remove risk of tripping yourself, etc. You can already always do unarmed damage and there is a feat for the different damage types.
