Here is a thought : If he has issues with fighting, approach the issue from the aikido stand point. Teach him how to neutralize the attacks and use the jui jitsu concept of pain compliance. By using aikido principals he can learn to use their own energy against them and then he can apply joint locks, pressure points manipulation and nerve manipulation to stop and neutralize their attacks. There are the nerves that when hit hard enough can cause momentary lose of use in a limb or even knock someone out. These things along with chokes and aikido redirection principals can enable him to handle the assaults without causing anyone any real harm. I am handicapped and as a result got into a few scraps in Grade School - High School and using these principals I was able to handle most attacks. In High School people only want pick on those that cannot and/or will not defend themselves. If he can guide one into a wall or get one in a joint lock in front of people and humiliate them odds are they will stop. Then and only then if they still come after him will he ever be able to really defend himself by breaking their noses or kneeing their ribs, using head-butts, etc. because then he will know he tried the peaceful defense, where no one got seriously hurt, and they still came after him.
