The below picture shows James S. Robinson Jr. instructing/teaching his young students at the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Community Center in Butler PA, on the Pommel Horse on July 19, 1954. I cannot verify who the young people in the picture are but they all lived in Butler PA.
Mr. Robinson, my father was an accomplished all around gymnast, who was a former member of the University of Pittsburgh Gymnastic and Track and Field Teams in the late 1920's and early 1930's.
Further Mr. Robinson was also a Master in Judo and Akaido.
I have a copy of his Martial Arts Identification card which states as follows:
Martial Arts of America Inc. Identification Card
