Way of Animal Warrior

When training and honing their martial art skills many monks have started to look outside of manmade fighting styles. By observing wild animals they have learned to move like them, think like them and act like them. Those monks are experts in all sorts of styles that resemble how animals fight in the wild.

Animal Styles

Starting at 3rd level, you learn 2 Animal Styles of your choice. During your turn as a bonus action you can adopt one of the Styles you know. This Style last for 1 minutes or until you use this feature to adopt a new style. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of 1). You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a short or long rest.

You learn 2 additional Animal Styles at 6th level, 2 more at 11th level and 2 more at 17th level.

When you reach level in this class that grants an Ability Score Improvement you can replace one of Animal Styles that you know with a different one.
