I believe this is the first "official demo" of Kendokai Karate and Nakamura Sensei. It took place in Osaka 1982.
His techniques are incredibly fast and sharp. Unlike wooden boards, the rafters (or thick wooden stakes) are built to last. The fact that he could break them so easily, and against the natural wood grain, is a testament to his incredible skill. Notice how on the last break, he uses his shuto strike to literally slice a rafter held with one hand. That is on a different level from breaking an object propped on a solid structure (usually cinder blocks).
