[ It's not like he's going all-out here, which is mostly why Daniel feels okay with doing this. It's just practice - and Keith doesn't look unsure in his stance or his hold on the weapons, which is something Daniel can tell with a glance after having been a teacher for a while already now.
It's all those things that make him calculate this situation to be safe enough for him to be okay with it. He pulls back his bo again, pausing for a moment, and then he swings the staff towards Keith. Faster and harder than he did for the demonstration just now, but still at a speed where he knows he'll be able to bring the weapon to a full stop in case the other doesn't block well enough - just so he won't hit the other in the face.
But for now he's still swinging the staff, waiting for it to hopefully meet the other's block. ]
