How do you teach beginners to relax?
Edit: this isn't even when rolling. I'm just showing them either a position, a technique, or a concept at a time and having them drill the movements
Also, to everyone's credit, they all seem like they're there to learn and are good students. They're not being aggressive, but they're just not good at relaxing their muscles and going through the strange movements that we know and love as BJJ
Question in the title really. I started working with a couple of newer people and some guys are extremely tense during everything. It doesn't help that they're all jacked to the tits and were former wrestlers 20 years ago.
I'm trying to teach them some basics, but they're so rigid and tense that they can't go through the motions.
Any anologies or cues that I can give them to help them relax?
