The templar knights, the hospitalers, the teutons, generally the members of the military orders in the middle ages were refered to as warrior monks. This wasn't completely accurate, as they were not monks, but as they did make many of the same vows and followed daily routines based on the rule of st. Benedict, this is not too far off.
In a way. The shaolin temple in china trained the monks living there. Hence they were the shaolin monks not the Buddhist monks. While they both believed in peace and not fighting they were not the same religion.
The monks weren't used to fighting, and the monasteries often had valuables like silver and gold.
The collective noun for monks is an abomination of monks (from the older 'an abominable sight of monks').
Some types of monks include Benedictine monks, Franciscan monks, and Trappist monks. Each type of monk belongs to a different religious order with its own set of customs, practices, and rules.
As monks.
only if they are templer monks. most monks are peaceful
If you think back to the old "Kung Fu" TV show the monks lifted a red hot urn to brand their inner forearms with a symbol of their particular style of fighting - and in the process burned out the tendons used to open and close their hands. No very likely.

No. Buddhism is a region of peace and compassion. The only Buddhist monks that practice any martial arts are the Shaolin monks in Shaolin monastery in China. They have been involved with fighting bandits and in some battles in ancient times.
monks are not emo!
Monks in todays modern world do alot of things the old fashioned way. They start there day off early, waking up at around 4-5a.m. The first thing they do is pray. They usually pray 3000-5000 times a day (prayers only last around 20seconds). Some monks will work while others will train in Shaolin, a very brutal fighting technique. They cannot eat after 12p.m. unless it is offered by a higher ranked monk. Those are the basics. If youd like to learn more research it :)
Not necessarily. Many religions have monks. Monks are people who withdraw from ordinary life to pursue their religious beliefs on a daily basis. So you can have Christian monks, Buddhist monks, Hindu monks, etc. Islam does not have a similar tradition though.
