It sure is and can take several days before the tenderness goes down.
I believe you do need to practice without gloves too and practice palm strikes as well. I practice them on an uppercut bag at our MT club.....quite different to punching it.....You also need to balance out your gloved/ungloved training too. For example, I like to train with 18oz gloves on as it makes me work harder and when I change to bare knuckle, my hands feel like their flying!! Its real important to hit something hard without gloves on though, the difference may surprise you.
