Dragon Ball Ep 61 - 21:07 - It's revealed that Master Roshi trained under Korin for 3 years, meaning he is probably knowledgeable in move reading.

Dragon Ball Ep 89 - 14:29 - Goku says Jackie Chun is one of the best fighters ever, and Tien adds that he is as close to perfection as is possible, without being Tien at least, and that his strength is matched only by his control.
Dragon Ball Ep 93 - 3:30 - Tien describes Jackie Chun's style of fighting. He claims that Jackie is the perfect predator, he studies his opponent, finds their weaknesses, and then waits, not attacking until he's found his opening to strike.
Later at 21:50 during their actual fight, Tien is completely flabbergasted at how such an old man can remain so agile and skillful, and in the original Japanese script, he states that Jackie Chun is even more skilled than Master Shen.
Dragon Ball Ep 93 - 15:02 - When Tien had him stuck on the defensive, Master Roshi was able to turn the tables by parrying one of Tien's attacks and drawing him into his fist, connecting with a pressure point located within the pectoral muscle, which not only causes Tien severe pain, but momentarily restricts his arm. This allows Roshi to take the advantage, displaying not only his knowledge of pressure points, but more importantly how to use them practically beyond simply attacking his opponent directly. You can see how in their next exchange of blows, Tien only uses his feet and right arm, not the one Roshi attacked. (Skip to 0:22)
Dragon Ball Ep 93 - 15:05 - One of my favorite H2H techniques in the series; Tien attempts a front kick against Master Roshi, only for Roshi to grab his leg, and curl it in as if trying to dislocate the knee. Tien is able to save himself with a quick elbow, but Roshi quickly turns the attack into an opportunity by maneuvering to the side while simultaneously sweeping Tien's other leg, using the leverage of his missed strike to spin the triclops around and hurl the him out of the ring. (Skip to 0:25)
(FILLER) Dragon Ball Ep 94 - 6:48 - When Jackie Chun is only a step away from falling out of the ring, Tien grabs him by the sides and attempts to force him off. However, Jackie is able to take control of the grapple with proper technique, and maintains his position by taking leverage, even when Tien starts headbutting. (Skip to 7:38)
Dragon Ball Ep 94 - 11:00 - After stunning Roshi with the Solar Flare, Tien leaps into the air and smashes him in the back of the head with his knee. Tien was positive Roshi would not be able to continue the match, going so far as to say in the manga that Jackie Chun will probably sleep forever. However, within seconds Roshi manages to recover anyway, and it's implied that he used some technique to do it.
Martial Arts ---- BATTLES
Dragon Ball Ep 22 - 10:10 - Roshi utterly humiliates Yamcha during their fight at the World Tournament, telling him that his moves are "big and fun to look at, but are sadly only a waste of energy".

Dragon Ball Ep 28 - 10:40 - Roshi vs Goku. After an exhaustive battle of power and techniques, Goku and Roshi are both sapped of strength and have zero ki energy left. They are forced to fight fist-to-fist in pure martial arts, and stalemate for four straight hours.

Dragon Ball Ep 86 - 8:40 and 10:20 - Like last year, Roshi (along with his students) breezed their way through the preliminary rounds of the 22nd Budokai Tenkaichi. This time, over 180 of the world's strongest and most skilled fighters participated, who were then whittled down to eight finalists.
Dragon Ball Ep 89 - 9:05 - Jackie Chun vs Man Wolf. Man Wolf is a superhuman wolf monster and expert martial artist who has spent the last three years obsessively training every single day for the explicit purpose of defeating Jackie Chun. Despite that, Jackie easily defeats him in possibly the single most onesided fight in all of Dragon Ball.
Dragon Ball Ep 93 - 14:30 - Master Roshi vs Tien Shinhan. There's some seriously intense H2H combat in this one, with plenty of acrobatic stunts and crazy techniques to show off just how truly advanced these two are as martial artists. Roshi and Tien battle on almost completely even ground for the entirety of the fight.

Ep 25 - 20:40 - Jackie Chun furthers the ruse by having Nam disguise himself as Master Roshi, finally convincing Yamcha that the two are separate people, when in fact they obviously are not.
Dragon Ball Ep 28 - 5:00 - With Great Ape Goku rampaging and seemingly unstoppable, Master Roshi is the only one able to figure out a way to stop him, deducing that the moon was the source of his transformation and destroying it, when everyone else had thought he destroyed Goku instead.
Dragon Ball Ep 28 - 12:38 - Roshi, finding he cannot defeat Goku in pure strength or martial arts, wins the match by taking advantage of some more unorthodox tactics; their size difference. Goading Goku into a charge, Roshi and his pupil both deliver flying kicks, but with Goku's short stature, his is unable to fully connect, whereas Roshi does.

Dragon Ball Ep 28 - 11:12 - Roshi and Goku, after having already reached the point of exhaustion, continue their match in pure hand-to-hand combat for over four straight hours.
