In 1985\, Flynn travelled to Japan\, where he studied Aikido at Hombu Dojo and Muso Shinden Ryu Iai-do with Mitsuzuka Takeshi Sensei. He returned from Japan in 1987 and served as the Chief Kenshusei at Berkeley Aikikai until December 1990\, at which time he was promoted to Yondan and named Shidoin. \nFlynn Sensei established Alameda Aikikai in January 1991 which eventually grew to become a major Birankai anchor in Northern California. He served as a member of the Teaching Committee\, USAF Western Region\, Chairman of the Sub-teaching committee\, and member of the Iai Batto-Ho teaching committee until relocating to Scotland in June of 2005\, where he established Thistle Aikikai. He has served as the Chairman of the British Birankai. \nHe has also served as the Technical Director of both Hellenic Birankai and Birankai Portugal. He was named Shihan in June of 2005 and was awarded 7th Dan by Doshu Ueshiba Moriteru in 2018 during the Kagami Baraki celebration at Hombu Dojo. \nHe has also received Iaido Shihan title from Mitsuzuka Sensei.
