Brakes dont go away from the whole fixedgear thing at all, in fact most forumengers here will advise you to fit at least one. Admitted some here ride brakeless but its a personal preference and only something for the experienced. With your statement you're heading down this
road. On a more technical front it depends on whether your wheels/hubs are disc compatible I think, maybe someone else can answer that if you post what rims/hubs you have, whatever the case fit a brake.
By the way, welcome to the forum..now where did I put that pitch fork?...
