The karate player can break the slab of ice with a single blow as he decreases the time with which he hits the slab. As force is indirectly proportional to time, lower time results in higher force and the higher force causes him to break the slab of ice

It is basic physics. Momentum and mass and speed all combined to put a large amount of force on a very small area. The force is transmitted through the various bricks.

Breaking is not terribly difficult. Most people can be successful if they have some basic training from a knowledgeable instructor. It is not something that should be tried without having been shown the proper techniques.

It is a matter of force, mass and momentum. The speed and mass of the hand focussed on a small area, creates the forces necessary to break the rigid tiles.
