Powers and abilities

 * Flight: The capability to fly by using chi. At first, this technique was used only by Tien and Chao Zu, but was later learned by all of the ESF members, except for Yajirobe and Master Roshi.


 * Chi Blast: The most basic form of energy wave.


 * Dodon Ray: The signature technique of the Crane School. It was an energy beam shot from a finger, which was more powerful than a normal Kamehameha, yet did not need as much charging time. Chao Zu used this in his match against Krillin after Master Shen ordered him to kill Krillin during the match.


 * Mimicry: Chao Zu had the ability to copy moves after seeing them only once. Tien Shinhan stated this after using the Kamehameha after copying it from Yamcha. Chao Zu used it to copy the Saibaman Bomb and used it on Nappa.


 * Telepathy: Chao Zu was able to speak with his targets mentally.


 * Telekinesis: Zu could manipulate objects in his environment through mental power. He used this technique at Tien's request to rearrange the number tags at the 22nd and 23rd World Martial Arts Tournaments in order to study their opponent's fighting styles, and to stop bullets from a Mercenary Clan while he was searching for the Dragon Balls with Master Roshi. He was able to use it on opponents that were not too strong for him to control. The effects on opponents included paralysis, and even directly attacking their internal organs.
