Hi,
Is there anyone on this forum who knows how to put on a mawashi? If anyone has an illustration or can explain it, either post it or email me. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

For an illustrated description, see

If none of that helps, then e-mail Oniyama, who even offers classes in mawashi tying.

Gals are invited, too, though most of them tie the belt over a leotard.
See, for example, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/m.../14/hsumo14.xml and the second article at http://www.usasumo.com/sumo/latimes010804.html .
