Shotokan or Muay Thai?

Muay Thai :P

Yeah. I've also seen a lot of Shotokan guys with damaged elbows, tendonitis, etc, because you can only throw punches in the air for so long for you get hyper extension.

I have been getting back into shape over the last few months, and I am looking to start taking martial arts classes. Of all the places to learn where I live I have narrowed it down to either a traditional shotokan dojo or a Muay Thai school. I have been doing research on both but im still torn. I like Shotokan for its discipline I also like the more practical applications of Muay Thai. Im just curious as to your opinions of the pros and cons of either, and thanks for your time.

muay thai, since it trains you to strike with punches, elbows, knees and kicks
by the way, it has some good low kicks
