I can't read the Japanese sentence. Can you send it again using Outlook Express in UTF-8 encoding? I'm not sure but my guess is that the sentence is followed by something like "(Tatoeba) sa-do, bushi-do, karate-do nado desu." If so, "maru-maru dou" means "something way" or "x way". "Maru-maru" is used for a variable component of a compound noun, like "maru-maru san" (Mr./Ms. X), "maru-maru gaisha" (X company), etc. Does it make sense to you now?
