I'm not sure if you're talking about doing that when starting to go or while sitting on an incline. Doing that while sitting at a light will wear the clutch disc out really quick. It also stresses the engine, drive shaft and flywheel.
IMHO it's best to learn to get it quick so you don't have to use the brake. If you can't, using the parking brake is the next best thing.
