If it’s not a loose tile and it’s installed correctly with no big gaps in the mortar underneath then even the strongest man would probably not be able to do it

Run away as fast as possible! You do NOT want to get sucked into some church or other religious crap that some evangelizer is trying to get you to join. 
 NO GOOD WILL COME FROM IT. Watch this entire episode, "A New Life", of The Outer Limits and you will understand... The Setup: In a nutshell, a busload of people follow a pastor called Father who is taking them to "The Promised Land", his remote village in the forested mountains where the people will live simple lives - think of like the Amish... The problem is that Father is not who - or what - everyone thinks he is... The Control Voice which introduces and ends every episode: "Religious devotion can lead people away from temptation and evil, but is the path as clear if that devotion is blind?" After 2 years in the remote "The Promised Land" village, some of the followers - Daniel and (doubting) Thomas - realize something is wrong as they discover they cannot leave and watched Father disappear into thin air after inserting his staff into a hole in metallic plate in the ground in the forest outside the village. Ultimately, Daniel stabs Father, steals his staff, and runs away with Thomas. Soon, Father miraculously heals showing the rest of the villagers his apparent divinity. Meanwhile, in the forest, Daniel, holding Father's staff, and Thomas go to the place where Father inserted the staff into that metallic plate in the ground where had Father disappeared earlier. Daniel then inserts the staff into the hole and is himself transported to somewhere - just like the way he's seen Father disappear to transport himself to somewhere Daniel has no idea of. Father is clapping as he sees Daniel arrive: "Well done. Well done." Daniel: "You. You can't be here. I left you in the village." Father: There are many of us here, Daniel. ANOTHER Father: And we take this form. AND A THIRD Father: It's easier that way. Daniel: Wait. Who are you? What are you? One of the 7 identical Fathers: "Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know, I know, I know. Many questions, many questions and I promise you there is an answer. Um, an answer. There is an answer, but I think you're going to be a little disappointed by it... We're just merchants really. We deal in commodities. Metals, minerals, water, and, in your case, slaves. Daniel: "Slaves?" Some Father: "You see, we've been watching your species for quite a while and and you have many of the qualities that we find desirable. You're hard working. You're relatively easy to train and you are obedient under certain circumstances. Now, there are these violent and rebellious tendencies, but we feel that we can breed these out of your stock. By the time we reach our destination, we won't even need the charade of the forest." Daniel: "Destination?" Some Father: "Oh, oh, that's right, that's right. You still think you're back on Earth, don't you? Well, perhaps this will enlighten you." *snaps fingers* [The window appears revealing that the entire forest, mountains and all, is under an enormous dome of a much larger spaceship.] "You see, Daniel. You're on a spaceship, traveling through space! The village, the mountains, about 20 miles of forest - it's all one big spaceship. And in about 500 of your Earth years, when we finally reach our destination, we going to have about 100,000 willing, obedient, docile, ...  profitable  slaves." Daniel: "No. We'll never follow you." Some Father: "No, of course not. Not if you thought you were being imprisoned. No, no. We uh we saw how disasterous it was when your species tried to enslave each other so, we had to come up with a new ploy. We had to... mmmm... make you want it... Give you a new life. A new life... through faith and service. In a few generations, you will think you were born to be slaves. And I am your lord." ... CONTROL VOICE: "When you blindly give up your free will to a higher authority, be sure you are not giving up control of your ultimate destiny." >>>>> I am 63 years old and let me tell you what I learned the hard way through decades in the School of Hard Knocks: NOTHING is better than freedom and health... especially freedom. When you join anything - and that includes anything involving at least one other person - you give up freedom and your happiness.

Is it plausible to break a 150 mm concrete subfloor under the the ceramic tiles because you would have to break both.

If it was another type of subfloor the ceramic tile would spread the impact. Highly unlikely.

A very focused point impact can shatter a small coin like a dime sized area

Iron_Man · Answer

Are we talking about one piece of tile? If you cushion your hand, and if you’re real strong and have strong force, yes you can break it The tile could be cracked or weak. But I wouldn’t recommend doing it with no padding on your hand. but yes, it’s very possible to break it. But she’ll have to hit it with down force like a karate chop, but she better cushion her hand I would recommend it. And tell them to take a video and send it to you. Yes, it is possible.
