This is the only way I was taught to land.

I cut the power anywhere from immediatly after taking off (Aborted
Takeoff) to just after taxing off the runway(Soft Field Landing)

In my Glider I cut the power typically at about 2000' AGL(Release from
the Towplane). It usually takes me about 3 hours to get around to
actually landing.

I power aircraft I normally cut the power on downwind abeam my touch
down point and they try to adjust my configuration (Flaps), glide path
and airspeed
to land at a specified spot on the Runway without having to add power
again.

But I use a different techniques for Short and Soft Field landings.
