You are right, but I think the aim in this game was to concentrate on the whole Chi (ki) factor, of using the mind to enhance the body. So weapons would kind of make that pointless. I think they did a good job of addressing your concerns by creating the Kensai. It wouldn't be fair to expect a monk training with weapons to recieve all of the bonuses that a monk who constantly meditates would recieve (to armor class and to damage etc).
