Releasing the clutch before or after that point puts unnecessary drag on the engine and drivetrain and does not result in a smooth shift.

It doesn't help that our flywheel is approximately 90% of the entire car's weight.
Back on topic... yes go to an AutoX. Granted you'll only shift once, but you'll learn a ton about driving and car control in a safe environment. Even if you don't drive, go to one and see if you can ride along.
