Sword Saint
Your have studied an esoteric monastic fighting style, stressing not only mastery of the body, but also mastery of a single weapon, which you fight with as an extension of yourself.
Prerequisites: Monk, Proficiency in selected weapon.
Benefit: Select a single weapon in which you are proficient. That weapon is considered a Monk weapon for you. In addition, you are considered a Fighter of your level for the purpose of selecting Greater Weapon Focus and the Weapon Specialization line in that weapon.
Special: You may not select this feat more than once. Normal: Only Fighters can take Greater Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon Specialization.

Let's see, it's a Monk-Only feat, so other classes that get Monk weapons can't take it, it gives you access to two feats (GWF & GWS) that Monks can't normally get, but most importantly, it allows a monk to flurry with a weapon of their choice (chosen once permanently)... so they could flurry with a greatsword or a greataxe. This sounds powerful, but there are Monk weapons that are already as strong as most weapons, and Monks are not automatically proficient with these, making a proficiency feat of some sort necessary before taking this. It doesn't enable perfect strike... I'm wary of the part about GWF and GWS, but it might actually be well balanced.
It sounds like it's worth playtesting. After all, you still would have to use normal feat slots for GWF and GWS and their prerequisites.
I'll allow it. Well written.
The only thing I would suggest is adding something at the bottom along the lines of Normal: Only Fighters can take Greater Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon Specialization.
