I remember teaching brakes jammed open and brakes jammed closed in my
brief period of instructing in UK. That was a while ago so don't
know what is required now.

I practice full rudder slips in every glider I fly but usually in
combination with full airbrake. It's amazing how much faster even a
modern glass bird will come down if a full slip is added to full
brakes. I have more than once been very glad I knew how to do it, and
in particular how the airspeed indicator would behave.
