Come and visit the Cambridge flying group and learn the correct methods.

If you cant do that find a club that will give you a tail wheel conversion course.

I have over 1000 hours in Tiger Moth, Auster and Pitts Aircraft and I have never ever taken off in the 3 point attitude with a tail wheel aeroplane.

Gently apply power, use rudder to keep it straight, stick forward to lift the tail,
Keep straight, full power lift off. As the tail come up you will need to control the swing with rudder.
