Apeuro (앞으로) is the Korean word for "forward". A kumdo club's glossary lists it as the step forward among the "basic steps".
- The same list gives the steps backward, to the left and to the right as the other basic steps.
- A description of basic Haidong Gumdo movements (a different Korean sword art, not kumdo) explains "자연세 전진 걷기 (앞으로)" this way: the right foot steps forward once and the left heel, slightly raised, is drawn forward.
- The Korea Kumdo Association manual (대한검도회) uses "앞으로" when describing a repeated head-strike drill: the practitioner advances, then retreats as far as they advanced.
