Ki strike and Flurry of maneuvers

[wujenta]

I wanna check if this actions are ruleswise ok...

Lets suppose that I´m adjacent to the enemy at the start of my turn

If I cast ki strike, and the use flurry of blows (I have the flurry of maneuvers too) to first grab a baddie and then strike him with an unarmed strike, I get +1 status bonus to the Athletic roll to grab (as it is an attack) and to the strike after grabbing, right? so my second attack will be at -4 (im using wolf style) but the target will be flatfooted and I will get the +1 status bonus to the attack as well.

Then with my second action will attack again with -8 and with my third action I will try to throw the enemy away with whirling throw with no penalty, as its not an attack

If thats right the enemy in his next turn, will have to stand up (1 action) move to get to me(1 action) and attack me with his last action and all this monsters with 2 action activities will not be able to use them freely.

Sorry. As of the last errata, skill rolls with the attack trait are not attack rolls.

The actions though are fine.

They only have to stand up if you crit succeeded; "Critical Success: You throw the creature the desired distance and it lands prone." They only have to move if they don't have a ranged option.

If athletic maneuvers use attack rolls then you can use finesse weapons to replace Str with Dex. Dex is already used for ranged attacks and can easily be used for melee through finesse weapons. I think they wanted Str to have one attack type to itself. The errata clarifies that strikes use "attack rolls" but athletics skill checks used for attacks aren't also "attack rolls."
