Fast shifting: I cant seem to shift fast 1-3 without getting jerkyness is this normal?

Goal: I want to shift fast without getting jerks. but the clutch always either pulls unless i give it gas. and if i give it gas release clutch fast and shift I get a ROCK sensation rather than jerks. almost like i was trying to drive it hard but it wanted to engage at a higher RPM but im driving slow.
i'm feeling exactly what you're feeling..the mini jerks/rocks between the gears. Today i watched the rpms closely and noticed at the right rpms the jerking motion goes away...for example im shifting at like 3k rpms and releasing clutch at 2k rpms from 1st-2nd. dunno
