As such, between Extra Attack and Flurry of Blows, a 5th level monk can make 4 attacks in one round as long as they have ki. If they do not have ki, they will instead use the Martial Arts feature and make 3 attacks instead.
Is there a limit to flurry of blows?
When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can make up to three additional attacks with it (up to a total of five Flurry of Blows attacks), provided that each Flurry of Blows attack targets a different creature this turn.”
When do you get extra attack in monk martial arts?
The Monk Martial Arts requirement states (emphasis mine): When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. And Extra Attack stipulates: Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Can a monk use an unarmed strike as a bonus action?
Yes, yes you can! The Monk Martial Arts requirement states (emphasis mine): When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. And Extra Attack stipulates:

What do you need to know about monk fighting stances?
Basically, fighting stances are variants on the Martial Arts feature that a monk gains at first level.

That’s going to be the hardest thing to do.
