It means more grappling. He ought to start trying to avoid those; York seems to like them. Or aim for them. It's both of them on the floor with tangled limbs both trying to untangle and tangle further.

He could make this dirty if he wanted to, draw real injuries and then brush it off as a lesson (to the students, the would-be rangers) that the kaiju will not go easy on them either. But that would be petty.
