From my point of view Pros: KSHD can simultaneously provide sufficient strength, muscle mass, mobility/speed, good flexibility and brain-body coordination Cons: KSHD has limitations in creating high muscle co-contraction and does not provide joint tolerance to heavy loading
P.S. Combination KSHD with high tension self-resistance might be a good option

What kept me going so long with KSHD was the Zen-like, meditative aspect of it. I had my own, secluded "Zen Spot" that I would go to each day at lunch time - on the edge of a cliff surrounded by forest overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I would do isos on tree limbs and then KSHD, facing the Pacific and breathing in the ocean air. ...which is something that is often lacking in the world of gym-muscle-building, and has for a long time.
I would say that even with the ambient surroundings and meditation, you wouldn't have kept it up for so long if you didn't get any muscular results from it. In your KSHD course you say 'It builds muscle size fast – just as effectively, if not more so, than lifting weights.'
If you want to be able to pick up heavy objects, you simply have to train for it. As far as KSHD is concerned, like any protocol it's not the all and end-all. But it has survived at least 1500 years as a viable method of training for strength and health when done properly.
Yogis and martial artists, chi kung exponents, boxers, old-time strongmen all used KSHD at least in part, the Green Dragon people today, Hung Gar tension drills such as Iron Wire, etc.
My first experiment with KSHD-type exercise was when I was 30. At the time I was heavy laboring on pole line work, and after a few months of KSHD I found in some aspects such as overall mobility and muscle-awareness, plus a little extra strength to go with it, an improvement. I probably would have noticed a bigger difference if I had started from a sedentary job.

All agreed. KSHD with isometrics as well.

From what I'm reading on the Sierra KSHD (what it is) page, the POST I made in the "Favorite Isometric Exercises" has a couple exercises that could be considered to be KSHD? I suppose that the BW squat hold part would not be KSHD unless I added tension to the muscles holding the squat. I also happened to notice on the KSHD page, it says this: These two sentences are technically in-correct, but I think I understand the intent.
