[QUOTE="justfisch, post: 4008744, member: 9858"] You don't need a weapon to trip an opponent. You also don't need improved unarmed strike. Grapple (and trip) are attack opptions that don't require any special equipment or feats to use. Any creature can make a trip attack or grapple attack. I read through the flurry description and grapple descriptions again and have come up with the following little tidbits. First, Flurry gives you an extra attack with a monk weapon or unarmed strike. Second, while in a grapple you can perform different actions, these actions take the place of an attack or move or standard action as discribed in the grapple action. Third, both the "damage your opponent" and "attack an opponenet" actions take the place of a single attack. So if I combine all his together, 1st level monk could: flurry in a grapple and either attack your opponent twice or damage your opponent twice. (I guess the monk could also do one of each or pin or use an opponents weapon or break a pin or any combination of actions that only use up a single attack as outlined in the grapple description). Does this seem correct. It gives the monk a little power boost against things it can grapple successfully. [/QUOTE]
