In Pathfinder a lot of different ways to unarmed combat: classes, archetypes, items, feats and so on. And on of main parts of unarmed combat is Style feats. They gain diiferent bonus to many situations. But we can have only one active style stance. To change the style we need to take combat master feat, to change them immediatent action.
With this feat and action aconomy can help MoMS monk. His abilities allow to fuse 2(kn high levels more)styles in one. In some builds people take 1 level of MoMS to fuse styles. But there arent other ways to fuse styles? For example Free style Fighter. He gain Brawler Martial Flexibility and fusing styles on 3rd levels
What are you think about Free style Fighter and there are another ways to fuse styles, except MoMS?
Mom's alternative is usually "ask your father".

MoMS: Interesting to play with, but doomed by the usual issues of the CRB Monk and the lack of Flurry. Works well in like, 30 point buy onwards, when you can have stupid ass DEX to get Two-Weapon Fighting, with enough STR to exploit Dragon Style + Pummeling Style + Crane Style.
UnMonk stance dancing: UnMonk is not a bad stance dancer TBH. Crane Style and Jabbing Style share the key components, and it's not too hard to switch from one to the other. Another viable combo is a Sage Counsellor going from Outslug Style to Crane Style or Dragon Style.
Brawler stance dancing: Brawlers are better due to access to martial flexibility. The usual combo would be to Pummeling Charge, then dance into Dragon Style or something else that allows you to increase output. Outslug into other styles also works I guess?
Grappler stance dancing: This is another option, using things like Charging Stag Style to pounce on enemies, and then Kraken Style to damage and suffocate them.
Free Style Fighter: Loses way too much power. Not worth it. The class chassis is too weakened to make it worth it.
Ascetic Style + Weapon Style Mastery: This is a super powerful combo for UnMonks and a couple other builds, like Iroran Paladins, Sacred Fist Warpriests, or Jistkan Artificer Magus. For example, an UnMonk could use a Waveblade with Ascetic Style + Dragon Style to deliver 1.5x STR hits with a very high critical range. Similarly, a more defensive build could be done with a Waveblade, Ascetic Style, Crane Style, and Weapon Finesse.
Elemental Monk UnMonk: It's not terrible, but it's probably worse than a vanilla UnMonk.
Ascetic Style + Weapon Style Mastery has another great combo out there: dan bong with Ascetic Style and Stick-Fighting Style is super powerful.
It's very hard to find worthy dips imho. There are way too many level dependent effects out there to make it worth it.

Why ascetic line good for UnMonk and Artificer? They already have good unarmed damage. Maybe because of Ascetic form(im not understand what it gives to player)
Ascetic Form is what we are aiming for.
This is true for all the Style builds mentioned above: a lot of them are dependent on you going for more than the first feat.
Ascetic Form allows the UnMonk to use Stunning Fists, Ki Powers and Style Strikes with manufactured weapons. This allows you to use higher crit weapons like the Waveblade, which has 18-20 crits, or the Urumi, which also does and can be 2Hd for 1.5x STR.
Once that is done, add Dragon Style or Shark Style for more damage that is multiplied on criticals, or Crane Style or a quarterstaff and Stick Fighter Style, and so on.
It's a pretty dang powerful combo.
As for Artificer, with Ascetic Form, you can access Urumis and Waveblades with 18-20 crits, which makes them as powerful as scimitars, which are stupid good on a Magus.
Then, Ascetic Form also allows you to use anything that applies to your unarmed attacks to your Urumi/Waveblade attacks... which means Flurrying Arm allows you to hit more with these weapons.
