I love the contrast between the Turtle and Crane schools, and a part of me wishes the idea of different philosophies/approaches to martial arts could have been carried forward more.
In principle, the Crane school believes in Domination. They want power over others and profit at the expense of others.
But their practice is much more refined and innovative. And their techniques are so good that others freely steal them, and it eventually robs the Crane school of its uniqueness to some extent. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Chiaotzu is the first person we see flying, and eventually everyone flies. He also used psychic power to paralyze. We've got the solar flare (still a go to, and maybe even more associated with Krillin at this point), the multi-form technique, and Tien's extra arms. They're all moves that change the nature of the battle and need to be applied tactically. Even the kikoho, the most straightforwardly overpowering blast, needs to be applied strategically, lest you screw yourself over with its backfiring effect.
By contrast, the Turtle school is as straightforward as possible. When Goku and Krillin first approach Roshi for training, he explicitly says he will not focus on technique, and instead assigns them lots of strength training and exercise. And their signature is as straightforward as it comes; attack by gathering your energy and pushing it directly in front of you.
But philosophically, the Turtle school is deceptively simple, in a way reminiscent of Taoism, ironically. Exist as you are and accept others as they are. Do not try to be better than others, try to be better than yourself. Train, learn, eat, rest, and play every day.

Doodles and introducing: Master Shen!
He is in charge of training Vegeta and Nappa. Unlike Roshi in the og anime, he's not a disgusting pervert old man lol although he does have a taste for muscular women (and probably men too) but he doesn't get to be disrespectful
