The wave isn't coming to Tampa Bay. It's already here. WUSF reported in 2026 that mahjong is growing across the region, with new clubs popping up from Tampa to St. Pete.
"Men have golf. Women have mahjong."
Why it works at a club.
Women drive it.
The players fueling the boom are mostly women, many between 35 and 65.
It crosses ages.
A member in her 30s and a member in her 70s enjoy the same table.
It connects.
Four members at a table, off their phones and laughing within twenty minutes.
It becomes a tradition.
Once members can play, they keep a weekly table going on their own.
From first tile to their own table.
Two lessons on consecutive weeks. By the end, your members can play on their own, ready to start a weekly mahjong group at your club or join tables you already have.
Introduction to Mahjong
The tiles, how a table is set up, and how a round is played. Members learn step by step and start playing the same day.
Guided Play
Members play real games with me coaching at the table, answering questions and building confidence hand after hand.

Questions about club mahjong.

$98 a person for both lessons, with a 10-person minimum.
How does payment work?
The club collects one payment from members and pays me on the day of the event.
How often can we run it?
Most clubs repeat it every six to eight weeks, so new members keep joining the tables.
What happens after the series?
