Having the wind knocked out of him made it real hard to fight back. Tal tried for a fierce flex to shove the other man off but ended up with a noodly wiggle instead as he wheezed for air. Thankfully (though he didn't realize it enough to appreciate it just yet) Sunjata wasn't fully flattening him so at least he could pull some air back in to shocked lungs.
Of course, by the time he got enough oxygen to protest the manhandling he was well and truly pinned, like one of those butterflies some weirdos stuck to boards. Tal tried a few jerks and twists, but let's be honest - his ground game wasn't great, this up close and personal. And Sunjata definitely had the advantage in experience and technique on him. With a huff of resignation Tal finally flopped back with a grumbled: "Yeah, alright, uncle!"
