Should I be practicing shifting with no clutch then? Seems like it would be bad for my car.

another question, I'm a noob. When upshifting, is it better practice to release the clutch before I gas? Like, let the revs drop to match the next gear and release the clutch at the perfect timing, before I gas? Or is it better to gas a LITTLE bit while I'm releasing the clutch, so the revs don't overdrop (this is what I"m currently doing)?

What method would be best for longevity of the clutch and tranny?
