Im envisioning a true grappler on a swashbuckler chassis. Can I get some assistance with an optimized Gymnast build. The primary goal would be to control the enemy, damage would very much be a secondary thing. Starting at level 10 we all know he arrives. MCing into Wrestler would be nice, getting a fist attack that is better than D4 while still being Human or Half-Elf would be nice too but not critical.

That looks like a pretty solid plan already.
I am currently playing a Sacred Nagaji Gymnast Swashbuckler with Wrestler archetype. Works great. I often just use a short sword in one hand for damage, but that is optional. Swashbuckler has some pretty high AC and with Nimble Dodge/Dueling Parry that rivals Champion and Monk. Combine that with immobilized and it can put enemies in a bad spot - attack the good AC, good HP person... who is capable of doing a massive amount of damage next round... or escape, move and have one action to attack someone else... with MAP.
That is impressive and a good idea.
