Were is the clutch?

Well, on a BMX do you know the back brake? Its on the left part of the handlebar, on my Pit bike, theres another brake-like thing on the left side of the handlebar, what is that? Is it the clutch?

Also, when I kick start the bike, on the left side of the bike, do I need to hold the clutch and push down the gear lever to make the bike move?
Thanks

Kris

Thankyou, what do you mean in neutral?
Also, when I'm changing gear do I have to hold the clutch?
