Well, if he is anything like your regular fish, he can feel the changes in / flow of the water around his body. Only in this case it's Shinsoo, and it allows him to gauge the mechanics of any technique and movements, not just react to these changes.

I suspect there may be some "type of technique to distance" ratio involved. As we know, there are fundamental differences between Flow Control and Reverse-Flow Control techniques, not to mention the difference between Shinsoo techniques and Martial Arts.

My theory is something like this:

 Flow Control techniques are aligned with the natural flow of Shinsoo, which means their signature is carried through the Shinsoo with no noteworthy resistance. This suggest these techniques don't have to hit or even be aimed at Viole for him to feel and replicate them. Reverse-Flow Control techniques go against the natural flow of Shinsoo, which means that their signature meets significant resistance of the natural flow of Shinsoo outside of the affected area / target. This suggest Viole either has to get directly affected or be fairly close to an effect in order to feel and replicate the technique. Flow & Reverse-Flow techniques either "cancel out" their external signature altogether, or the technique's signature can be felt further away than entirely Reverse-Flow Control techniques due to the Flow Control component. The first would suggest Viole must get hit in order to replicate, the other is somewhere between Flow Control and Reverse-Flow Control. Martial Arts probably have very little, if any, Shinsoo signature, which suggest they can only be learnt through physical contact.
