In the first lesson on the range you will be learning the friction zone of the clutch
- Rocking in place-
-start bike in 1st gear
-push back on your heels
-ease clutch out until your feet are flat ( start to feel the engine pull you forward)
-squeeze clutch in
- lather-rinse-repeat
and also get you one of those cheap spring hand strengtheners, I use one while driving the car and jut watching TV ,
Hope this helps

If only you were near me, NE Ohio here. So you are saying they will be teaching me how to do things that I will never be able to do on my bike. Not unless I magically grow a few inches
Hence the reason why I asked ways a shorty can learn the clutch/brake without doing what they teach via duckwalking, etc. Thanks for the tip on the hand strengthener, but I won't need it. Years of working at a car wash and now as a maid, my hands are strong. No weakness there.
Since you are an instructor, do you have any ideas on what I could do aside from what's been suggested? Thank you for any input

MrAtom thanks
I'll get some of that stuff.
