Do you know which broad edge you want to start with? There is a great online tutorial for Uncial which is a nice one to start with as there are only capitals.

The tutorials above are great.
If you are more book inclined, "Foundations of Calligraphy" by Sheila Waters is the best intro and reference dedicated to broad edge calligraphy (and design to a lesser extent) I know of.

Patricia Lovett has an excellent series of instructional videos:

I'll also recommend her book "Calligraphy and Illumination: A History and Practical Guide", with a dozen different broad edge hands; I got it through my library.
