Chi-Chi's father is the Ox-King, so it's only natural that he taught her the basics.

Krillin is the strongest human on Earth

Krillin can no longer keep up with the series' most powerful characters, but at the time, he and Goku were both being trained by Master Roshi. Krillin joined the Turtle School at exactly the same time as Goku. Although they didn't get along at first, the two quickly developed a deep friendship as they trained together. Krillin was never as powerful or as fast as Goku, but he was arguably the more strategic fighter.
