QUESTION Martial arts to get built

Hi Im 21 and got a little bit of muscle and a little bit of fat and do MUAY THAI on rare occasion (to learn how to fight and 2 to get built); I ask my instructors if there are any exercises I can do outside of class to get better and they shrug it off or say hit the heavy bag for 30 minutes. Anyway I was wondering what martial art would get me built the quickest or just built in general? And is the instructor advice sound

Judo. Literally lifting and throwing other humans. Weight training is still good but yeah

Got to be honest, judo never made me big although some say I'm strong.
