Doom's training with the Tibetan monks has always been somewhat glossed over. , and  all deal with Doom's origins and that part of his history is always vague. Books of Doom Vol 1 goes into a little more detail about his time with the monks. The train him in a number of things, he brings technology to their society, one even travels with him when he takes over Latveria. But by and large, they don't really go into detail about WHAT the monks taught him. It's probably intentional, so writers can go back and say "Doom learned this from those monks a long time ago" if the need arises. At this point it's all a matter of interpretation. But if you want to get into stereotypes and comic book tropes, it's not a far stretch to assume that Doom learned some fighting skills from them.
