The systems and use section of the pfsrd that "Also, if are pinned or grappled, most of your maneuvers simply will not work until you are able to move freely."
Does this mean that no maneuvers work in grapples at all? This seems kind of unclear and a huge drawback. A natural weapon fighter can full attack while wrestling a kraken but a Warlord can't use his full effectiveness?
second question; Path of War: Expanded says that you can't benifit from the lance doubling effect when using a manuver or boost:
When a character initiates a martial strike or boost
during a mounted charge attack, the initiation of the
maneuver overrides any damage bonuses that are
would be gained while performing this action (such as
by the Spirited Charge feat or while wielding a lance),
and the initiator deals damage as if they were not
charging[/url]does this apply to boosts that don't increase damage, like Pride Movement?

First question: I'd imagine no maneuver is allowed in a grapple unless the maneuver specifically states it is allowed. Or, maybe, if the discipline uses weapons that can be used in a grapple, and the character is using such a weapon, those maneuvers can be used in a grapple. That last one probably isn't RAW.
Second question: By RAW, that looks correct; using Pride Movement would keep the character from getting bonus damage on a charge. It probably wouldn't break anything if you houseruled otherwise.
