You'll notice I mentioned judo and sambo as being excellent for throws. I just think that if he's new to the boxing/ma game, and he's already taking boxing, he'd probably be best served by striking at this point as opposed to executing judo throws which I can say from experience are a LOT more technical than they look. CC for being a judo advocate though.
