Sometimes I'll do 6x8 min rounds, or 10x5 min rounds, while other times I'll have only 3x3min rounds. In the end, I've seen it average out to keeping a consistent 25 minutes of hard rolling per night.
You'll have guys/gals that roll twice a day or 3x a day, but you gotta have money for that type of effort. More training equates to more food intake, and more wear and tear on the body. I savor grappling like fine wine, while others may want to do shots to the head, everyday. There's a trade-off in either case.
Just my two cents. Hope this thread gives you a good perspective on the different times and level of effort people are putting forth. Enjoy the journey!
