You can sort of pull of a grappler like Zangief with the Grapper Open Palm monk but....   Here are the current obstacles.   Monk subclasses don't allow design space much without  burning precious Ki Fighter subclasses allows design space but is missing so many key features (Martial arts and Unarmored defense for a few)   No boxing in D&D again.   So what kind of mechanics are we talking about?   Comboing: getting accuracy bonus when you hit an enemy already that turn Punishing: Reaction attacks when enemies miss. Canceling: Spending resources to deal additional damage on a hit Heavy/Light attacks: The ability to quickly switch between fast/inaccurate low damage attacks and slow/accurate high damage attacks Jumping/Crouching attacks: Benefits for melee attacking after a jump or while prone. Chip....  let's not get into that.   So... would you be interested?

As an action, you can spend 2 ki points and choose a creature within 30 feet o f you. That creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3 d 10 bludgeoning damage, plus an extra 1d10 bludgeoning damage for each additional ki point you spend, and you can push the creature up to 20 feet away from you and knock it prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage, and you don’t push it or knock it prone.

When an enemy misses a melee attack against you, you can as a reaction make a melee attack against that enemy. You have advantage on melee attacks with two handed weapons if the target is not touching the ground.
