That's why I would recommend Wing Chun to someone with knee problems who didn't like high kicks.Plus Wing Chun has superior grappling when compared to any of the other striking styles listed (sorry Muay Thai guys
).
Also in my experience a number of Wing Chun schools have links to other traditional Chinese schools, including Tai Chi which may be able to help you realign your movement in order to account for a weak knee.
And no I'm not a kung fu advocate (just had my ass handed to me by a 50 something year old Tai Chi instructor, who I later found out had just recovered from serious back injury caused by a car crash).
