Making her one of the most skilled martial artists on the planet.

Has also been trained in Dragon Style Kung Fu and pressure point fighting by Richard Dragon.

Other styles she's shown skill in include Savate, Judo, Aikido, Jujutsu, Wing Chun, and Tae Kwon Do
Master Tactician and Strategist:
Dinah is also considered a strong leader and strategic thinker, which has led to her being made Chairwoman of the latest incarnation of the JLA.
Harmonica Player: Though not a useful skill in battle, it is a skill nonetheless that she uses to strengthen her breathing and vocal cords. This is a form of training for her Canary Cry.
Master Acrobat
Master Detective
Aviation
Expert Motorcyclist
Strength level:
Black Canary possesses the strength level of a woman her age, size and weight who engages in intensive regular exercise. Dinah can therefore press (lift) at least her own bodyweight. The Canary Cry has been able to reach 300 decibels, which is enough to make a person's ears start bleeding even if they're not the attack target. It's possible the scream can reach far higher levels.

* Body Armor
* Transmitter earring and necklace (allows her to stay in contact with Oracle)

Motorcycle

( During the time she was without her actual Canary Cry, Dinah carried round bombs that would emit a similar loud sonic sound. )

Don't get me wrong. We're not freaks. We weren't born different. But we became different the moment we stepped into the hero role. Now we have to live up to it... or die trying
