i think any martial arts are going to require a large armound of leg work so realisticly your not going to be able to do them fully if you cant use legs and making it rather pointless, boxing i've personally found not to hard on the legs in comparison to other 'fighting' arts.

Probably not what u wanted to hear fella but i think thats the sum of it

i hear ya man is there nothing other thn boxing which consintrates on upper body?

Even boxing is leg intensive you just wont be using ground work or lifts, if you can run or move around on your legs for a long time you should be ok.

Other than that i can not see anything else you could try sorry

running isnt the problem tbh its when my legs are fully bend back or kneeling and stuff like that

If movement isn't an issue i would give boxing ago for deffinate, its not the brutal un-cultured fight school people expect, the trainers(in my experience) are always sound so give it a go
