So you’ve heard about mahjong and you’re thinking about taking a beginner lesson. But what actually happens at a beginner mahjong class? You don’t even really know what mahjong is- are you going to be out of place? Can you sign up alone? Sparrow and Dragon hosts mahjong lessons at Martin’s Mercantile in Summerfield and here’s what you can expect from our beginner American mahjong classes.

Mahjong has been around for hundreds of years and American Mahjong is in its 89th year, so why does it feel like it's never been more popular?

It’s no coincidence that mahjong is gaining in popularity in a time when the world is barreling faster and faster towards AI and automation. Screen addiction is at an all-time high and attention spans are dwindling as a result. Only a few years out of the isolation of the pandemic, it can feel easier to stay home and scroll than find any sort of community.

Enter mahjong.
