Certain Soto Zen methods for sure. Chan Zen criticizes the idea that trying to cut off the senses helps people to enlightenment.

Oh, I forgot about this difference. Chan has these thought provoking "riddles without answer" like "what's the sound of one clapping hand", right?

Haha sorta yeah. They're called Koans and imo are more similar to a Zen master hitting you in the head and shouting at you. They are a bit of a spicy subject, many Chan Zen Masters feel folks spend too much time with them.
