The trop description is "Monks specifically know kung fu or similar martial arts, even when that doesn't entirely make sense (e.g. Catholic monks)". A lot of the examples are "Monks who know how to fight". And we have Warrior Monk.

Might want to add Arn: Knight Templar. While technically probably a lay brother early in the series before he becomes a Templar he does wear the robes and is a badass fighter with both natural talent and training. Then takes a couple levels of badass during the series. Doesn't however really do hand-to-hand much, but he is a master with sword and bow.

Great article, Just 1 more you may have forgotten about. The TV show M.A.S.H. from the '70s had the character Father Mulcahee, a Chaplin who was very good at boxing (Perhaps it was OK because the boxing gloves are padded??)
