Glad this is a game and not based on history. If it were the shang gou (paired hook swords) would be listed as a monk weapon as they were an almost exclusive weapon to the Shaolin monks. I know this because my wife trained in Shaolin Kung Fu for over 8 years. I've also noticed a lack of weapons that you might find with an Eastern monk. They would more often than not have weapons that were small and concealed about their person rather than brandished openly. When necessary that is when you would see the swords and spears come out.
