Yeah, Kendo is my first martial art to do ever. Actually, they combine Kendo and Iaido in the trainings. They said that there will be two trainings a week: On Monday it's more Iaido oriented and Wednesday more Kendo oriented. Beginner course is supposed to prepare you to practice both and then you can choose which interests you more.

I've no idea how experienced the teacher will be. By real kendoka you mean that he has a "rank"? Like 6. dan for example?

I hope my big toe won't be a problem in the trainings because it broke about 2 months ago and is still a bit stiff and doesn't bend normally
