The only one I can think of that would provide the most bang for buck for the WHOLE body is the One-Arm One-Leg Push-up (which I assume is why it's the choice for SFB cert).

It's not necessarily the best bodyweight press (I reserve that pick for the Planche Push-up), nor is it a phenomenal leg exercise BUT it covers probably the most bases of any single pick and has plenty of "WTH effect" carryover to exercises like the One-Arm Chin-up. The best part is all you need is a floor!

What is your pick?
 
Set a pull up bar height at just under your max jump reach. Push yourself off the deck from a prone position, jump to bar, do a pull up or three then a few hanging abs, swing yourself in the air and let go at a decent height for a nice depth jump, hit the deck, repeat.

Could substitute a rope climb for a pull up bar.

Like if my ultimate goal is to do a planche push-up but I can’t even hold the basic crow pose, is the only exercise I’m allowed to do is a half@$$ed leap frog, belly flop abomination onto a sweaty, tumbling mat in a continually failed attempt to perform a planche push-up? I
 
Trying to hold an "L sit" for 10+ seconds gives me the feeling of an all over workout. Not sure exactly what I'm hitting doing it, but it certainly feels everywhere.
