What is Rounds in BJJ?

Rounds are the timed periods of sparring at the end of class. A typical round is 5-6 minutes with 1-2 minutes rest between partners. You might do 4-8 rounds depending on class length and structure. Competition matches are typically 5 minutes at white belt, up to 10 minutes for black belt finals. "How many rounds did you get?" is a common post-training question.
