What it is

Punta Gorda Mahjong (by Traveling Tiles / Lifestyle Latitudes, LLC) is a first-party American Mahjong teaching studio and community space on puntagordamahjong.com in Punta Gorda, Florida. Founder Julie publishes a clear beginner-to-practice curriculum (Intro / Foundations, Mahj 101, Mahj 102) plus open play, with a book-now path for classes and events. Secondary boutique shopping exists on-site; the Learning identity for this listing is lessons.

Who it’s for

Southwest Florida beginners and early players who want hands-on American Mahjong instruction in a studio setting. It is separate from teachers and studios already on disk (School of American Mah Jongg, Order of the Tile, Atlanta Mentors, Mahj Life, Mahjong with Kim, The Mahj Playbook, Classical Mahjong, The Mahj Lodge, RichMahj, Motor City Mahjong, So Bam Fun, Après Mahjong, etc.).

Why it’s listed

The plaza needs an unused first-party teacher/course page with named founder, published class ladder, and studio address — geographic diversity vs Monday’s RichMahj (Virginia) and Tuesday’s Motor City Mahjong (Metro Detroit).
