Karate newbie question

Hi all,

I started about 20 days ago with karate (shotokan) and I took 6 lessons. I am a 30 yo male with no previous experience in martial arts.

I am good (or at least not so bad) at stretching and body coordination, I am 180 cm high and my weight is 75 kg.

Here is my problem: I live in a small city and even if my dojo is attended by at least 200 athlets, most of them kids or like that, when I go to my lesson (at about 7.00 PM two times a week) there are about ten (adult) karatekas: one black belt, the remaining are divided into blue belts and brown belts (1 kyu), and I am the only white belt.

Now my sensei doesn't teach me almost any technique, I only do cardio and stretching and other coordination exercices (the same done by all other karatekas) and, as I said before, NEVER a single technique. Oh yes, one time he taught 3 minutes gedan barai, but quick and without much corrections.

Obv I start getting bored of karate, because I subscribed a karate class not a gym class.

Now what is my sensei's plan? It's normal to never teach some techniques to white belt? Will they be taught after some time? Have I just to wait?

Thanks in advance
