PATH OF THE ARCANE FIST

Monks who pursue the path of the arcane fist forsake training with normal weapons as other monks do in favor of honing their control over Ki. Their core belief is that their spirit is their greatest weapon and only that is needed to strike down ones opponent. Through this belief they gain great mastery over Ki and eventually are able to perform fantastic attacks at a distance, similar to a sorcerers magic missile,  with it to compliment their martial arts. 

Ki Focus

When choseing way of the arcane fist you lose all weapon proficencies you currently have including with monk weapons and are unable to become proficient in other weapons.
