You could use the Mythic as a template to work from. It is a great channeling SSU profession, but it is very much a holy slayer...
IMO it's actually fairly easy to convert. Just look at the skill cost differences between the Essence or Mentalism Semi and a Channeling Semi from core and mimic those differences starting with Essence or Mentalism Monks and what you create. It's usually a pretty minimal number of skills that change. From there you just need to decide what you're going to use for Base Spell Lists.
(I am firmly on the fence regarding the professions in ChCo : I love the Summoner and the Mythic, don't like the Warlock at all..., and generally think that the tailoring of the Cleric profession to specific deities was half-baked at best - but in the author's defence, you would have needed a full profession building micro system to provide enough flexibility, in addition to a spell list building system).
I think we could have done a better job on trying to provide direction on making sure you kept your Base Spell List selection balanced, but the overall concept of the Priest idea was slightly compromised by the (at that time) management of ICE. They wanted us to create a single static Profession (which defeated the entire purpose and we put our foot down against that) and we wanted a more robust process. So it turned out to be a compromise to a degree. As to the list of example sets of base lists that ended up in there, they added that themselves and I agree it was pretty... so-so.
I wouldn't call them Shaolin anything, though The Shaolin temple was Buddhist, but the Shaolin martial artists were much more warrior monks than anything else in my opinion. Perhaps the Yamabushi would be a better fit ?
Again, one of my favorite companions, but I would have liked to see the Martial Arts Companion be a little more traditional/historical.
It wasn't really, so when I created the Channeling Monk (and called it Shaolin) I didn't bother trying to be historically accurate at all.
It was essentially a marital arts version of the Paladin.
So a Paladin who may marry or a married Paladin? :p
Dammit that's the second time in a row. lol
For some reason my autocorrect likes to substitute Martial with Marital.
