Training in plyometrics, weight training, and core training combined will give you more strength and general conditioning than MT (if you mean Muay Thai) ever would on its own, with the exception of being able to take punches and kick hard and all that. But if you continue with your strength and conditioning training, and add flexibility training, when you go to take martial arts classes again, you'll be in fine shape for it. It's different if you go to take martial arts again and are older and way out of shape. But if you're in great shape (flexible, strong, high endurance, etc...) starting martial arts again shouldn't be too much of a problem.
