I have just started riding and i have seen a lot of people who don't have brakes, so I don't know if i should take them both off, just the front off or keep them both as just loosen them.

You can do plenty more tricks with both brakes (providing they work well enough)
I'd suggest keeping them for now, maybe take your front brake off if it's bad and doesn't work.
Having a brake will also give you more confidence to go fast. I'm certain the reason a lot of newer riders go so slow at everything is because they took their brakes off before learning decent bike control

awww, how sweet. ^^^ 3 reasons to have brakes
1. You might need them just before you T- bone a car, wall, ect?
2. Parents might whoop your ass with break cable for taking them off?
3.Ask your parent if you can take your brakes off, so you can be kool like the other kids?

I had a front brake on my BMX when i got it, it got binned cos it it was the cheapest one that whatever shop that built the bike up could find to put on, so it basically didn't work, if it had actually did anything i would have kept it on, the back brake works fine despite me realising yesterday that i only have 1 and a half pads lol
