I am the writer of my blog, Dungeons With Dragons, and I wrote something that can probably help with beginner Monks and DMs.
The list of feats and features are from the PHB to keep it simple. This is most useful for DMs and players that want to know what they reasonably should have in terms of Monk class abilities at the 5th level. I even go into the 3 monastic traditions, including a simplified view of the most complicated tradition, Way of the Four Elements.
The article specifically describes the features in detail so you may have a better idea of the class abilities a level 5 Monk can offer. DMs may be able to gather the information in this article to help build out and play a basic Monk enemy.
