Understanding the meaning of「こちらにとって、近い間合い、相手にとって遠い間合いになっている考えていい」


Currently I am translating a kendo book from Japanese. While I understand the
general meaning, I was having trouble translating this sentence:

> こちらにとって、近い間合い、相手にとって遠い間合いになっていると考えていい

The closest I got is:

> For this way, it can be thought to be beneficial (good) if your maai
> (distance) gets closer, while for the opponent's maai gets farther.

What does kochira ni totte mean in this context?

Here is the full sentence:

> 写真のように相手が重心を後ろに下げたことが確認できたら、こちらにとって、近い間合い、相手にとって遠い間合いになっていると考えていい




Your sentence needs と like 遠い間合いになっていると考えていい.

こちらにとって means 自分(自分達)にとって. However it implies "you" in this context because
the author must write this sentence for the readers. I translate it as "You
may think that it is close distance for you and far distance for your
opponent".
