Default Short Clutch?

I've recently bought a 96 honda accord and cant help but to notice that the clutch is pretty short, it isn't much of a problem but it seems like the car jerks more.. is there possibly anything wrong with this? or am i just a bad driver? any help would be nice~
thanks

What do you mean "short"? Engages very close to the floor? If so, it might be there's air in the hydraulic system so you need to bleed it.

Yeahh, when I release the clutch to engage 1st gear it jerks a lot due to this issue... or perhaps im just a crappy driver? :P
I'm kind of new to this whole thing.. but how would I go about bleeding my clutch? >.<

The other day I saw a thread about bleeding the clutch, search for it. If you can't find it, I'll explain more.
