that style doesn't have beginners classes exactly. it's all taught together. you just get more and more of the nuances as you go.
It shows you how to move your body as a whole for fighting, if all you learn is how to swing a sword without accompanying footwork and avoidance skills, you'll just end up with a mutual slaying(ai-uchi). Probably not the goal you are going for.
starting with Bujinkan taijutsu and then expanding extras on to it with specific styles of swordwork will give you crazy sword skills if you put the work in. Not having a good base to start though will hinder you greatly.
this dojo might be closer and is of similar if not better quality.

good luck whatever you go with.
If you don't like whats up there and don't mind a trip to philly, i'll be doing a sword fighting seminar again in September, or, if you get a half dozen or more people together, I'll do one up there sooner.
