you might have seen a karate player breaking off a pile on slabs in a single blow . have you ever noticed the positioning of his hand ? does this reminds you of a wedge?

A karate player uses momentum to break the glass. A hand when moved fastly gains momentum. A karate player stops his hand quickly when the hand touches the slabs, applying the whole momentum on the slab. Thus karate players break the pile of slabs.

While breaking the pile of slabs, the hand that contains a lot of momentum would like a wedge.
