There are a couple San Shin Kai dojos but they are not affiliated to the Japanese kendo or iai federations. From what I have seen, they are not as good.
There is an entire Budo art dedicated to drawing a sword, cutting, wiping off and returning the blade to the sheath. It's known as Iaido. There is no one way to draw a Katana properly - it depends on the instruction given to the student by the Master teaching Iaido. While you could learn the basic moves from a book or video, it's not the same as actually being taught how to perform the moves and then practicing it until it becomes instinct and fluid movement, and not something that is thought about prior to performing. I've attached a link to the Wiki on Iaido, but if you really want to learn, find a local dojo that teaches it properly and learn there.
It is the sword art, that put an end to the Samurai class of Japan, that's why.
Japanese Jiujitsu is Aikido's Ancestor. Other styles of Jiujitsu are different, however the Japanese style which is the original style is a root of Aikido. Aikido was created so that you would not destroy your attacker, however jiujitsu is used in combat. The Samurai used techniques that look like Aikido, however it is just a form of Jiujitsu. What Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of Aikido) did was take techniques that he learned from Daito Ryu Jiujitsu and shortened them creating "Aikido". Aikido often talks about protecting your attacker. Ultimately you have the option to protect or destroy once you know techniques, it is up to the Aikidoka.
The martial art that incorporates mainly weapons is called Kobu-Jutsu or Kobudo. Generally you will learn the traditional weapons first learned and mastered by the Okinawan People. Namely being the Bo, Nunchuka, Tonfa, Sai and Kama. These were and still are traditional farming tools in some countries.

The martial arts you are inquiring about is in fact a more powerfull form inside the iaido martial arts. This is when the proper level has been achieved and now a master teaches only one student. You would have to achieve this level and get a proper master which could turn into something of a quest. You can probably start learning iaido localy before you search for a master in Japan. Then again if you learn iaido localy you can probably get a master for the more powerfull learning.
It is a style of Japanese swordsmanship.
Laido can be self taught. there are multiple websites on the internet that offer free in home lessons on the fighting style. If the person wants to be taught by a trainer they can find one easily
