The Sweep the Leg
Blueprint to Conquering Life's Battles
Take Action. Seize Opportunities. Win.
The Next Level
This is Book 2 in the SWEEP THE LEG series. In Book 1, Alan took readers on his journey to earning his Black Belt and the game-changing impact it had, not just on him but on everyone he has worked with in his five decades of training.
Now, the series goes deeper into the principles that made all the difference, plus an online portal for remote training so that no matter where you are, you can jump in, get in the fight, and start sweeping the leg in your own life.
What you hold in your hands is more than a guidebook. It is your blueprint for kicking life's butt, one strategic move at a time. This is not about looking cool in a Gi or throwing punches like you have seen in a movie. This is about applying the Sweep the Leg philosophy to every aspect of your life.
It is about tackling obstacles with purpose, embracing challenges head-on and always knowing when to strike, because in life, timing is everything.
Sweep the Leg is not about cheap shots or playing dirty. It is about seizing the moment, making bold moves and showing up ready for anything life throws at you. It is the mental toughness to know when to stand tall and when to take action and to do it all with unwavering confidence. Life can knock you down, but it is how you rise that matters.
"Welcome to the Journey." - Alan
Unleash Your Inner BOSS
In this Blueprint, BOSS goes beyond a title. It is a mindset. Being a BOSS means embracing purpose, resilience, and control, taking charge of your actions and decisions while moving forward with unstoppable confidence.
A true BOSS embodies four key superpowers:
B
Bringing. You do not sit around waiting for the perfect mood to hit you. You bring it. You summon your motivation like a wizard casting a spell. Each morning you wake up with purpose, ready to take on whatever life throws your way. You are the energy. You are the spark that lights up your day.
O
Optimism. No matter how many plot twists life throws at you, you know how to find the silver lining. In the face of setbacks, you smile and think, "Well, this is interesting." Every setback is just another opportunity to learn, grow, and level up. A true BOSS does not ask "why me?" They ask "what's next?"
S
Strength. Not just the kind that gets you through leg day at the gym. Mental, emotional strength: "I can do this even when my brain says no" strength. Life will throw discomfort and fear at you, and you eat that for breakfast. Every time you feel discomfort, that is another opportunity to flex your strength.
S
Self-Mastery. This is where the magic happens. Being a BOSS is all about discipline. No one tells you what to do or how to do it. You master your decisions, your actions, your mindset, and in doing so, you shape your world. A BOSS does not wait for permission to move forward. They make their own rules and own their journey.
Living "Like a BOSS" means showing up like a Martial Artist every day: focused, decisive, and 100% in charge. Excuses: NOPE. Distractions: NAH. When challenges pop up (and they always do), you face them head-on. No hesitation. No backpedaling. You take action like it is your superpower, because it is.
What Makes This Book Different
This workbook is built on three core commitments per chapter:
Core Lessons
The principles from each Book 1 chapter, distilled into actionable insights with the Momentum Makers framework.
The Power Surge
A 2-week training journal with daily Action, Focus, and Reflection prompts that push you further out of your comfort zone each day.
Final Thoughts
A battle cry to close out each chapter before moving into the next fight.
12 Chapters. 12 Battlefields.
Each chapter mirrors Book 1 but goes deeper, providing the Momentum Makers (key lessons) and a full 14-day action journal. Here is what you will face on each battlefield:
Chapter 1: Cut the Excuses, Commit to Yourself
Momentum Makers
- Identify and Confront Your Excuses: You cannot overcome what you do not acknowledge. By recognizing the excuses that have been running the show, you begin the process of dismantling their power over you.
- Commit to Your Breakthrough: Real change is not just a body transformation. It is a total shift in mind and spirit. Breakthrough is not a quick fix. It is a permanent lifestyle evolution.
- Conquer Your Fears: Fear only holds power when you give it permission. By naming your fears and facing them head-on, you reclaim control over your actions and the course of your life.
- Breakthrough Comfort Zones: True growth happens when you embrace discomfort. Pushing past your limits in one area can ignite growth in every aspect of your life.
- Let Go of External Validation: The real challenge is not about impressing others. It is about proving to yourself that you have the strength and the will to accomplish whatever you set your mind to.
Chapter 2: Welcome the Struggle: Harness the Pain, Use It as Power
Momentum Makers
- Fear Is Not Your Enemy: It Is Your Sidekick. Fear does not have to be that overbearing friend who tells you to stop. The second you face it, it goes from blocking your path to lighting the way. When you stop running and start facing it like a true BADASS, you turn fear into fuel.
- Pain Is Progress: Whether it is your body or your brain screaming for mercy, that is not the universe saying "stop." That is just saying, "Hey, you are leveling up!" That "I can't" moment? It is a lie.
- Embrace Discomfort: If you are still hanging out in your comfort zone, it is time to pack your bags and hit the road. Growth happens in the uncomfortable zones. Every time you face that gnawing discomfort, whether mental or physical, you are stepping up your game.
Chapter 3: Command Your Body, Own Your Mind
Momentum Makers
- Precision: Every move counts. Every step, every decision, every action should have a clear purpose. No more stalling or dragging your feet.
- Momentum: Waiting for the "perfect moment" is just procrastination in disguise. Get moving now, even if it is a small step. Every little bit counts.
- Control: When life throws curveballs (and it will), do not flinch. Stay calm, stay cool, and keep that mind sharp and calculated.
- Perfectionism Is a Trap: Stop waiting for the stars to align. Just start, even if it is messy. Messy action beats waiting for perfection any day.
Chapter 4: Master the Mental Game: Anticipate, Strategize and Win
Momentum Makers
- Read the game before the fight. Identify weak points in any situation. Create your opening rather than waiting for one. Execute with precision and without hesitation. Debrief after every move to sharpen strategy for the next one.
Chapter 5: The Martial Arts of Life: Kicking Your Own Ass One Day at a Time
Momentum Makers
- Find your fuel (what drives you when it gets hard). Commit to incremental daily improvement. Beat your own clone, not someone else's standard. Use self-assessment as a daily practice. Patience over quick fixes every time.
Chapter 6: Taking the Leap: From Average to Warrior
Momentum Makers
- The hardest belt to earn is the white belt (making the choice to begin). Strong Mind, Strong Body, Strong Spirit (the TRIO). Caring and relentless drive are the real secrets to success. Fear is temporary. Regret is forever. Take the leap even when it is terrifying.
Chapter 7: Mindset: Your Secret Weapon to Everything You Desire
Momentum Makers
- Mindset is a daily choice, not a permanent state. Confidence is earned through competence, not performance. React like a beginner or respond like a BOSS: your choice. Patience is strategy, not weakness. Consistency over time is the only real shortcut.
Chapter 8: Badassery Cannot Be Bought: It Is Earned, Not Given
Momentum Makers
- NO PAPER TIGERS. Integrity is the DNA of everything. Show up to the standard no matter where you are starting from. Commit fully or do not commit at all. Pass the torch: how you show up affects everyone around you.
Chapter 9: The Black Belt of Life: Embracing Discipline, Integrity and Vigilance
Momentum Makers
- The Black Belt is the beginning, not the end. Self-reliance: you are your own solution. Vigilance means staying sharp and prepared for life's next round. Training for life, not just for the belt. Leading by example is the highest form of teaching.
Chapter 10: Age Is Just a Number: Why It Is Never Too Late to Kick Life's Butt
Momentum Makers
- Age is a mindset, not a limitation. Ted (85) and Louise (77) prove it every week. You have people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s showing up and outworking people half their age. Disabilities do not define warriors. Relentless drive over world-class credentials, every time.
Chapter 11: Be the Sage: Creating a Timeless Legacy Through Martial Arts Wisdom
Momentum Makers
- True badassery is about mastering yourself, not intimidating others. Legacy is built daily in how you carry yourself, especially when no one is watching. Mastery is a lifelong pursuit. You cannot help but lift others once you have truly risen. You are not just fighting for yourself anymore.
Chapter 12: No More Waiting, Enough Talk: Time to Sweep the Leg and Kick Ass
The Final Battle Cry
- The final chapter is the battle cry. No more overthinking. No more hesitation. This is your moment. Step up, take action, and start crushing your goals. Every day is a new opportunity to get better, to be stronger, to push past your limits. A true warrior never quits, especially when things get tough. Go show the world what you are made of.
Your 2-Week Training Journal System
Each of the 12 chapters includes a full 2-week daily journal called The Power Surge. Every day has three components: ACTION (what you do), FOCUS (the mental principle driving it), and REFLECTION (what you examine afterward). This is not passive reading. This is active transformation, one daily rep at a time.
