quick stop with front brake

Hello,
I have a front brake on my fixie. I can also skid, but I have to get up from the sadle to perform decent skid. In emergency situation I lock my legs and also use my front brake for quick stop. But my rear wheel is unweight because of skidding and when I use my front brake I almost flip over the handlebars (the wheel is even in the air for a second).
So I would like to ask, if it's safe to have only a front brake. How can I make a quick stop? Do I have to learn how to skid without unweighting rear wheel, or what would you suggest? Thank you.
