Little Rock's home for American Mahjong
Lessons, leagues, and events for women who've always wanted to learn mahjong (and the Mahj Men we love too). Beautifully hosted. Seriously well taught. Always welcoming.
If You've been wanting to learn mahjong, you're not alone.
Maybe a friend has been talking about her mahjong group for a year. Maybe you keep seeing those colorful tiles on Instagram. Maybe you've thought about signing up for a class but worried you'd feel behind, or that you'd hold up the table, or that it would feel more like homework than fun.
None of that happens here.
We teach American Mahjong correctly, warmly, and at a pace that actually sticks. You'll leave your first lesson knowing more than you thought possible, and you'll have had a wonderful time getting there. Dottie (our sweet mascot), guarantees it!

Voices of Our Community
We had an amazing experience with
Kimberly teaching us Mahjong! She came
to our Galentine’s Party with everything we needed to learn. Her patience, expertise, and love of the game made all the difference, and her Mahjong sets are absolutely stunning! Highly recommend her for anyone looking to learn or improve
their game.

Having zero exposure to Mahjong,
Kimberly was able to explain the game in
a way that was easy to understand and
also fun to learn. She provided instruction
that allowed me to seamlessly play with
experienced players after the first lesson.

If you’re looking for good vibes, great people, and a new favorite way to spend your time, Little Rock Mahjong has stolen my heart! From the moment you walk in you’re greeted with laughter, colorful tiles, and that lovely “let’s play again!” energy. 💕

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Kimberly. I started Little Rock Mahjong because I believe every woman in this city deserves a standing seat at a table that's hers.
I teach American Mahjong the way I learned it: correctly, joyfully, and with real Southern hospitality. I want you to leave your first lesson genuinely capable, not just entertained. I want your group to have a standing thing on the calendar. And I want every newcomer to feel welcome from the moment she sits down.
A portion of every lesson fee and ticket goes to The Call here in Little Rock, voted on by our community. The game is the doorway. Connection is the point.
There's always a seat at the table.
— Kimberly

Why We Do This
Adult friendship is hard. Standing plans are rare. Mahjong is one of the few things that gives us a real reason to keep showing up for each other, week after week. A table to sit at. A skill to grow. A community to belong to.
That's the whole game.
