I think advanced weaponry, increased rule of law, commercialization, and a quick fix society are more likely causes.
Christianity has nothing to do with the shaolin monks.
I don't find anything in christianity limiting to martial arts. Do not kill is actually not the translation it is "thou shalt not be guilty of innocent blood" It has nothing to do with defending oneself.
Also the christian forces were very effective in battle.
Perhaps a broader perspective would aid you if this is a topic you really interested in.
