Hi, I’m Julie Lin-Friss

Hi, I’m Julie Lin-Friss, founder of Jak B Mahj. 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 — whether you’re completely new to the game or looking to sharpen your skills.

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.

Why Mahjong?

Master TheAncient Game

Mahjong is far more than tiles and luck. It’s a strategic, mental discipline that sharpens your mind, teaches probability and risk management, and connects you to a 4,000-year-old tradition rich with culture and meaning.

Our certified instructors guide you through the elegance of the game—from understanding the fundamentals to mastering competitive play. Whether you’re learning for cultural enrichment, mental exercise, or pure enjoyment, we create an environment where every player thrives.
