Path of war (Dervish defender) Advice needed

[Nosta]

Planning a Katana and Wakizashi wielding Dervish defender warder who utilizes The eternal guardian and Thrashing Dragon paths. Race is not chosen but will not be human. I want to focus on my zone of Nope and locking my foe down. Intimidate will be used and I plan to use int for that skill.


What should my first 7 levels of feats look like. I may take 3.5 feats but each is a case by case

Looking at this great guide (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Nuni1TCzVXyhx4rFWjNcEjuDS6goL9hLQDE4il_tzH8/edit) gives some relatively standard suggestions like Advanced Study, a Discipline Focus, Extra Marks, Guard's Glare, Take the Blow, Extra Readied Maneuver, the list goes on.
