Considering the stories of him dueling, killing people, beating them, etc he may not have been a "monk" (or he was a very bad one)
The monastery where he lived is a hot bed of martial arts, the entire area is. Several close by monasteries (including where CTS was raised) were also martial arts hot beds
I tend to believe now that most of the southern martial arts were much more incestuous than we have been led to believe or even want to believe
