Benfal, thanks for sharing the schools link!
They don't specify which style they are or mention their lineage which is slightly discouraging, maybe they aren't a tradition Kung fu, or maybe they are and just dont explain themselves well.But either way you should go and see how it is! If the Kung fu is whack there is always the kickboxing and mma at that place, which is a lot easier to teach generally.
You in Canada right? Vancouver?
If so there is a praying mantis class -

Also for the Kung fu and Bruce lee fans, I discovered this guy about 6 months ago -
Tommy carruthers - a scottish Kung fu practioner
(the vid is a student of Bruce lee narrating the footage)I've never seen anyone aside from Bruce lee move as fast or as powerfully as this guy. He is an absolute machine. His movement is incredible (no homo).

^ i thought kung fu because of the way he gets low with his legs in that position, a fist behind him with the hand out front...

but I can't actually tell the difference though between that and karate stances,

they are similar. karate looks more straight on, the hands are more rigid and the stance is higher. Either way he probably took a few classes, he had good head movement at the end.
