As a white belt, I am in a fundamentals class that is a solid hour of learning the warm up for the day, and doing specific training that is focused around the techniques required to perform the warm up, such as granby rolls, and many variations of it before moving into the actual granby roll from knee-to-knee position. Or rolling kimuras, and all the steps leading up to that technique, like shoulder rolls, and practicing the kimura before moving into the actual rolling kimura flow drill.
However, the goal is to move into the advanced classes, and the warm ups are just that, a warm up, and should not take up more than 15-20 minutes of an advanced class, so thats 5 minutes per flow, 4 flows per warm up, so try for 5 minutes per flow. It will not be easy, you will sweat your ass off,and it will be tiring, thats the purpose of a warm up.
Keep in mind I am just a lowly white belt, and this is just my observation of how we drill our warm ups at my current moon. Moons may very, instructors may very, days on how we train the warm ups and techniques can vary depending on who showed up to class that day.
As long as your doing the warm up of the day, I doubt it will matter how you go about it, as long as your doing it. But dont make light of it, make it hard, push hard through it, make it non stop, make it exhausting, its all about getting the repetitions in, and building reflexes and muscle memory. Since my moon is brand new, and we are all beginners, it is very common to train for 2 hours straight on the warm ups, and variations of the warm ups, and any drills and techniques that pertain to the warm up of the day, before moving onto something more advanced. I love it!
But if that answer was too complex, then do this instead... try for 20 repetitions for each partner, or 10 each side, for 20 total... each. Train left and right, dominant and non dominant sides, then switch. You'll find this will hit around the 2-5 minute mark, depending on your speed.
