She took up judo at age 13 in Jerusalem, Israel. (ijf.org, 09 Mar 2020; sport1.maariv.co.il, 26 Apr 2018)

Her parents are both from the United States of America and she initially got involved in ju-jitsu. "When I was 13 I decided to move to judo and it was a very meaningful decision for me. I remember my first contest, I lost my first fight and my mother came and whispered in my ear, 'Timna, just get angry.' And then I won all the other fights." (ijf.org, 09 Mar 2020; sport1.maariv.co.il, 26 Apr 2018)
