Specifically designed cat nail clippers are far superior to human nail clippers. The best clippers should be easily held in one hand so that your other and is free to hold your cats paw out and to expose the nail.
I agree with starting young. It is important that it is accustomed to handling and restraint at an early age. If a cat becomes used to claw trimming as a kitten then this will be well tolerated as an adult
Handling the kittens feet is great training. I would suggest going slowly and gently, if your cat resents the procedure take a step back and tty again at another time.
Note: this should only be done if your cat is kept exclusively indoors, as it may need those sharp claws for defence against attack and to climb a tree to get out of trouble.
