I also found this to be true with my testing. Now, as I did more and more braking I was a bit less tense so it goes to show that practice helps not only in habits formed and braking distance but also in being relaxed.
That being said, I find that when relaxed and braking hard that I do constantly find my body shifting forward. Especially, when braking down hill as my whole body is loose and relaxed so the momentum carries me into the tank.
That being said, do you guys consciously have to tell you brain to stiffen legs so my upper body doesn't shift when braking? Does this become habit? Seems complex to train the body to relax but the legs to stiffen without a mental double check
