Julie Lin-Friss
Founder & Lead Instructor
My love for Mahjong started as a way to connect with friends, family, and culture — and it quickly became a true passion. I created Jak B Mahj to make Mahjong approachable, social, and fun for everyone.
Through my lessons, I aim to create a welcoming space where people can learn, laugh, build confidence, and enjoy the community that Mahjong brings together — whether you’re completely new or looking to sharpen your skills.
Three ideas that shape every class, every session, every table.
Mahjong is inherently social. We build spaces where players connect, grow, and come back — not just to play, but to belong.
No experience needed. No pressure. Just a welcoming table where any level of player feels confident and included from day one.
Small classes, personal attention, real guidance. We don’t move on until every player at the table genuinely gets it.
A evening deep dive from tile recognition to a full game. You’ll leave confident enough to sit at any table.
One-on-one or small group instruction tailored entirely to you — your pace, your schedule, your focus.
Already know the basics? Join our social sessions to practice, meet players, and keep the game alive.
