Would your experienced buddie consider sparring you? you'd learn a lot from him, as long as he takes it easy on you to begin with.
I think that's the smartest thing to do, BUT he's a southpaw and very awkward. Not conventional at all.

Maybe that's good? Very good? But I need to get ready for conventional right hand stances, I believe.
