Change of Guard

Standing in the ring, Barbara Foley looked from one opponent's belt to the next, analyzing her competition.

Foley, a crossing guard at Garth Elementary, has been practicing the martial art of taekwondo for four years, starting just one week after enrolling her grandson. Although her grandson has taken a new interest in baseball, Foley and her husband have committed themselves to the sport of taekwondo.

The sport has helped Foley lose weight and lower her blood pressure, taught her to physically defend herself and to maintain self-control.
