: これは柔道に関する実験ですので、試合の相手（対手・敵手）である"opponent"よりも稽古相手である"partner"が相応しいと思います。さらに、相手方は「取である験者」（技をかける立場の相手）なので、Caseyさんの"active partner"が良いと思います。むろん、読者が柔道に多少の心得があるのであれば、Caseyさんの仰せのとおり”tori”でも通じると思います。ただし、多少柔道をかじった程度の読者であれば、”tori”が通じない可能性が高いので避けた方が無難です。

There's really no direct translation for this expression. I think the above suggestion will just suit the content and can express the meaning.
