The sifu is credible and his school caters to beginners, at least acc. to the website.
 
Well Kung Fu is a generic term used to describe all Chinese MAs. There are hundreds of styles of Kung Fu. U should check google for a list of schools in ur area so u know whats available to u. Research the schools, their instructors, and their lineages. After u sorted out the McDojos u should visit the schools and talk with the instructors. Then decide for urself which is right for u.
I personally prefer Chen Style Taijiquan. Its a great MA if u can find a good instructor and it works wonders for ur immune system. Finding a good Taijiquan instructor is difficult because of all those new age @ssholes who teach it as a health exercise. Anyone who makes it sound mystical either has no idea what theyre talking about or is just trying to rip u off.
Good luck
 
I go to college in Ohio, and im thinking about join this local kung-fu place, I've had four years of karate when I was a kid, so im sure i'll like it, and who wouldn't want to be able say that they know advanced kung fu one day? I recommend it, and ya im pretty sure that i'll be joining to.

Before joining, try to search for all the posts here in yahoo! answers, for the type of martial arts that you are interested in. Try to look for the topics on what to look for in a dojo or dojang, how to spot a fake school, and the lineage (if it is a kung fu school). Also, before joining, take their free class offering and see if you're going to enjoy it, how the instructor conducts his class and how students interact with instructor/fellow students.

You might also consider the schedule, location and fees.
