[Pathfinder] The monk and the whip

This is my third character build using the maneuver master archetype (see the quarterstaff master and judo master). I like the archetypes that give up the ability to flurry – I find that I have more freedom to experiment with various weapon styles and character concepts without feeling obligated to make it work with the flurry mechanic. Today, I present a monk that makes use of a whip:

Half-elf maneuver master / lore warden (yes, lore warden again)

Both builds use the whip to perform maneuvers with 15 foot reach. I’d like to squeeze Combat Reflexes into the builds, but I’m not to sure where to slot it. Best of all, whenever you successfully pull a foe towards you, by using reposition, you can yell: ”GET OVER HERE!”
