The real question is wether you have this burning desire to learn from a "Monk" or you want a good Shifu? What do you want to learn, how to be a Bhuddist Monk or do you wish to learn Shaolin Wushu? My Shifu is not a monk, does not claim to be a monk, does not wish to be a Monk. He teaches Shaolin Wushu, has trained with several "Monks", and other Masters. He has also trained and actually stayed in the temple, (Yes, stayed there in a Monk cubicle not in Dengfeng at a school), and counts Deyang as a Shifu. I have trained with him for 5 years, and though I do look forward to a trip to Henan Province so I can have some more experiences like Doc here, I see no great advantage in learning directly from a "Certified Monk" at my level.
Find a good teacher somewhere that will give you a good foundation in Wushu, worry about a "Certified monk" later.
