Flurry and Circling Mongoose

[willuwontu]

I've been thinking about playing a monk (specifically unMonk) and was looking up some builds for them, among them I came across the Circling mongoose monk build.

The Build seems to use both flurry and circling mongoose at the same time, and I was wondering how that's possible when they're both full round actions. Is there some special case that I'm not aware of that allows them both to happen?

Flurry of blows:

At 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When making a flurry of blows, the monk can make one additional attack at his highest base attack bonus. This additional attack stacks with the bonus attacks from haste and other similar effects. When using this ability, the monk can make these attacks with any combination of his unarmed strikes and weapons that have the monk special weapon quality. He takes no penalty for using multiple weapons when making a flurry of blows, but he does not gain any additional attacks beyond what’s already granted by the flurry for doing so. (He can still gain additional attacks from a high base attack bonus, from this ability, and from haste and similar effects).

Circling Mongoose:

When you are adjacent to a foe, as a full-round action, you can take a full-attack action to make melee attacks against the foe, moving 5 feet before each attack. You must move 5 feet before each melee attack you make, and can’t exceed your maximum speed, exceed your maximum number of attacks in a round, or attack any other target until the beginning of your next turn.

Circling Mongoose is a Full-Round Action.

Flurry is a Full-Attack Action.

Circling Mongoose says "..as a full-round action, you can take a full-attack action to make melee attacks.."

So using Circling Mongoose, lets you use Flurry.

Oh that was simple, thanks for clearing that up for me.
