It's a close contact martial art that focuses on your hands and arms. It trains your reflexes and doesn't have as much of an emphasis on the legs.

Wow, I was thinking this was some kind of homeopathic bullshit, but the Mayo clinic administers it now. I guess i'll take a closer look. I don't think it'll help the arthritis (it's from an autoimmune disease), but if it can repair the meniscii it's worth a look.
Thanks!
EDIT: Bleh, its use is for ligament/tendon pain/repair. Mine is a cartilage issue.

Just as long as you can rotate your knee, you should be fine, I damaged my Anterior-Cruciate ligament (ACL) years back, now its gone back to me not being able to rotate it against any outside force, like water, for breastroke.
Good Luck.

Rotation is fine. A good example is that I can't sit on my knees or kneel. I do squat lifts and lunges to work on the range/strength, but my knees can't even support my own weight past a sitting position, even though I can lift quite a lot.
Tai chi is the obvious best solution for dealing with that kind of flexibility issue but it's not as physically intensive as boxing would be, plus I kind of like boxing. :x

Yeah I'd go for boxing. Boxing is a great way to let off a lot of steam, it's also a very good cardio work out.
