How much force / resistance?

Let's say you're teaching a technique to a beginner. That beginner is not only less experienced than you, she is also a petite woman and you are a big ugly man.

Let's say the technique involves breaking out of an aggressive restraints, arm locking the attacker and throwing them to the ground.

There is a balance to be struck. On one hand, you want to teach that without correct technique, it will not work against a stronger opponent. On the other hand, you're ware that it's quite demoralising when attempt after attempt just results in your mock attacker just standing there, unaffected, calmly explaining and trying to show the technique again.

What's people's views on this? Do you resist at all costs until they do the technique right, or do you theatrically hurl yourself at the floor and let on that it was them that did it, or somewhere in between?
