NHB is the "style" of fighting.

Because of the popularity of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, some people call NHB "Ultimate Fighting".

NHB or Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) are probably more accurate terms.

Thai boxing is another name for Muay Thai.

I dunno, I think thai boxing may be the kickboxing type, but clinching allowed in muay thai. Not sure though.

Muay = boxing in the thai language so yes muay thai and thai boxing are the same thing, kickboxing is the different version. (no clinch, knees or elbows as mentioned)

In my experince, muay thai clubs are much more focused and "thai kickboxing" clubs tend to be for chavs, run by chavs.
